Precision measurement physics: physics that precision matters

Precision muon physics

Themuon is playing a unique role in sub-atomic physics. Studies ofmuon decay both determine the overall strength and establish the chiral structure of weak interactions, as well as setting extraordinary limits on charged-lepton-flavor-violating processes. Measurements of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment offer singular sensitivity to the completeness of the standard model and the predictions...

Neutrino Physics: the Roadmap for Precision Physics

In the last years, we experienced a complete change of the view of weak interaction physics. Robust results from many experiments as Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND, SNO, K2K, show us that the neutrinos have the remarkable phenomena of oscillations, a quantum interference mechanism that operates to distances as large as 100 km and even bigger distances. From this we know that neutrinos change identit...

Precision Electroweak Physics

The status in electroweak precision physics is reviewed. I present a brief summary of the latest data, global fit results, a few implications for new physics, and an outlook.

Precision SUSY Physics

We review the theoretical status and the future perspectives of the most important electroweak precision observables in the MSSM. This comprises the mass of the W boson, MW , the effective leptonic mixing angle, sin θeff , the mass of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson, mh, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aμ. The impact of the parametric uncertainties from the experimental errors of t...
