Fermion pair production at LEP2 and interpretations

Abstract

Preliminary results on $e^+ e^- \to f \bar{f}$, $f=e, \mu, \tau, q$, including all LEP2 data are discussed. Good agreement is found with the Standard Model up to the highest energies. Limits on possible new physics are extracted.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the New Trends in High-Energy Physics, Yalta, Ukraine, September 22 - 29, 200
