The data consist of 17 million Z decays accumulated by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments at LEP, and 600 thousand Z decays by the SLD experiment using a polarised beam at SLC. The measurements include cross-sections, forward–backward asymmetries and polarised asymmetries.electron-positron physicselectroweak interactionsdecays of heavy intermediate gauge bosonsFermion-antifermion productionprecision measurements at the Z resonancetests of the standard modelradiative correctionseffective coupling constantsneutral weak currentZ bosonW bosontop quarkHiggs bosonarticle
