description | At LEP2 many Standard Model predictions are tested up to centre-of-mass energies of 209 GeV. Fermion pair production cross sections and asymmetries agree well with the theoretical expectation over the entire energy range. The measurements are used to determine the gamma/Z interference and to search for contact interactions up to 20 TeV. The cross sections for single-W, ZZ and W+W- production agree well with the expectations. The branching fractions of the W boson into hadrons and leptons are determined as well as the CKM matrix element |V_{cs}|. Precise measurements of the W mass and width are presented yielding MW=80.427+-0.046 GeV and GammaW=2.12=_0.11 GeV. All electroweak data are very consistent with the Standard Model predictions. In a combined fit using the recent value of Delta alpha_{had}^(5)(s) the mass of the Higgs boson is constrained to MH=88^{+60}_{-37} GeV. |
