LEPTOP

Abstract

This report consists of three parts. In Chapter 1 we present a brief description of the LEPTOP approach for the calculation of the radiative corrections in the Minimal Standard Model. The approach is based on the one-loop approximation with respect to the genuinely electroweak interaction for which simple explicit analytical formulae are valid. Starting from $G_μ, m_Z$ and $\barα\equiv α(m^2_Z)$ as the main input parameters, we consider all observables of the $Z$ boson decays and the mass of the $W$ boson on the same footing. The dressing with gluonic corrections is performed by using the results of calculations published by other authors. In Chapter 2 theoretical uncertainties inherent to our approach and hence to the LEPTOP computer program are analyzed. In Chapter 3 we describe the Fortran code of LEPTOP. This code can be obtained on request from [e-mail]. This document can be accessed on http://cppm.in2p3.fr/leptop/intro_leptop.html by WWW users.
