Marciano, W J

The goals of this work are: to test the standard SU(2)/sub L/ x U(1) model at the tree and quantum loop level, provide a precise determination of sin/sup 2/ theta/sub W/ which could, for example, be used to rule out or at least constrain various grand unified theories (GUTS), and look for hints of ''new physics.'' The topics this paper elaborates on are radiative corrections, top quark mass bounds, grand unified theories (GUTS), and extra Z' boson constraints. In addition, the implications of a precise Z boson mass determination at SLC would have when combined with existing neutral current data is examined. 21 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs. (LSP)
