Marciano, W J

Precision measurements of sin/sup 2/theta/sub W/ and the effects of radiative corrections are surveyed. A world average sin/sup 2/theta/sub W/ = 0.229 +- 0.004 is obtained. Comparison of deep-inelastic ..nu../sub ..mu../N scattering and m/sub W/ or m/sub Z/ is shown to test the standard model at the quantum loop level and constrain new physics. Implications for grand unified theories are briefly discussed.
