Particle Accelerators
Z's are studied by producing them in electron-positron colliders and studying their decays. Studies at the Z resonance have produced high precision results at LEP and SLAC. LEP later moved on to higher energies, studying W pairs, and searching for the Higgs. W's have been studied at both hadron colliders, such as the Tevatron and electron-positron colliders. Last fall (2000), LEP shut down at CERN to make way for the LHC construction. The LHC may be able to probe the physics of the Higgs sector and beyond the standard model.	CERN Aerial View
