Abstract
Since the coming into operation of CERN’s Large Electron-Positron storage ring (LEP), in 1989, the Electroweak Standard Model has been tested with an unprecedented precision, both concerning the number of independent physics quantities which have been measured and the accuracy of the measurements. In these lecture notes, the most significant experimental results from LEP and elsewhere, and their implications for the Electroweak Standard Model are reviewed.
