✦ Synopsis
Results of precision electroweak measurements in fermion pair production are reviewed. The combination of results obtained by LEP and SLC are compared with Standard Model predictions and used to constrain its parameters. In particular, predictions for the mass of the Higgs boson are discussed. Fermion pair production at LEP2 is used to test the Standard Model at high energies and to derive limits on parameters of new physics models.

An ~o-meson in motion with respect to a nuclear medium can couple to a o'-meson through a particle-hole excitation. This coupling is large. We investigate its consequences for the width of ~o-mesons in matter and for the s-wave annihilation of pions into lepton pairs which can take place in relativi
