A large number of precision measurements will be possible with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Examples from W physics, Drell-Yan production of lepton pairs, Triple-Gauge Couplings,top physics, Higgs and Supersymmetry are discussed.
The status of the search at LEP2 for the Higgs in the Standard Model (SM) and in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model MSSM) is reviewed. A preliminary lower limit of 95.5/c^2 at 95% C.L. on the SM Higgs is obtained after a preliminary analysis of the data collected at sqrt(s)= 189 GeV. For standard choices of MSSM parameter sets, the search for the neutral Higgs bosons h and A leads to preliminary 95% C.L. exclusion lower limits of 83.5GeV/c^2 and 84.5 GeV/c^2, respectively.
A summary of the W-boson properties measured by the four LEP collaborations is presented here. These properties are updated to take into account the most recent results presented at the ICHEP98 conference.
