Title:     Electroweak constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model

Abstract: We present updated global fits of the Standard Model and beyond to electroweak precision data, taking into account recent progress in theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. We combine these results with those obtained from a fit to the Higgs boson signal strengths, and data from 2 to 2 fermion processes measured at the LHC. Following a general effective Lagrangian approach, we obtain model-independent bounds on new physics in the form of dimension-six  interactions. We also classify all the new physics extensions that can contribute to the Effective Lagrangian to dimension six, and put bounds on several simple extensions of the Standard Model.
