Description

The evidence for electroweak radiative corrections not contained in α(mZ) is examined. At low energies there is very strong evidence in the analysis of the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. At e+e- and p bar p collider experiments the current direct signals are not strong, but there is substantial indirect evidence, which will likely become sharper when mt is determined. The advantage of using (Δr)res as a measure of these effects is emphasized. In order to improve the direct evidence, more accurate measurements of mW and the on-resonance asymmetries are indicated
