Abstract

For more than a decade now, experiments in high‐energy physics have yielded very few real surprises. Far from being a reproach to the experimenters, this state of affairs is a testament to the encompassing success of the standard model of the elementary particles that took its definitive shape in the 1970s. In the early 1980s the heavy vector bosons, W± and Z0, that mediate the weak interactions were found just about where they were expected, and the millions of Z0s created since then have confirmed the predictions of the standard model in spectacular detail.
