Description

We discuss some of the physics that is expected to emerge at LEP at high energy (LEP, Phase II). We concentrate in particular on the reaction e+e- -> W+W- and examine various experimental distributions which provide good tests of the standard model - in particular of the three gauge vertex. A careful discussion is also given of means to determine the W-mass, to one part per mil at Lep II. The importance of W decays for a clean determination of the various weak mixing angles is also emphasized. Finally, some possible signals for compositeness, which can be investigated in high energy e+e- collisions, are detailed. (orig.)
