Electroweak physics at LEP2

The LEP2 machine at CERN provides e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions above the W/sup +/W/sup -/ production threshold. The four LEP experiments have collected data at collision energies growing from 161 GeV to 189 GeV over the last three years. High energy data from LEP are used to make precise measurements of parameters of the standard model (SM) and to search for new physics beyond it. Various aspects of physics at LEP2, in particular W Physics, is reviewed from an experimental point of view. (7 refs).
