Abstract

Precise measurements of the lepton properties provide stringent tests of the Standard Model structure and accurate determinations of its parameters. We overview the present status of a few selected topics: lepton universality, QCD tests and the determination of alpha_s and m_s from hadronic tau decays, the anomalous lepton magnetic moments and neutrino oscillations.
