Abstract

A review is given on the quantum correction Δr in the W--Z mass correlation at the electroweak two-loop level, as derived from the calculation of the muon lifetime in the Standard Model. Exact results for Δr and the W-mass prediction including O(α2) corrections with fermion loops are presented and compared with previous results of a next-to-leading order expansion in the top-quark mass.
