Abstract

The original littlest Higgs model with universal fermion couplings is found to be consistent with precision electroweak data but is strongly constrained by Tevatron limits on the predicted centi-weak Z' boson. A possible signal observed by CDF at 240 GeV is consistent with the predicted Z' and a region below 150 GeV is largely unconstrained by collider data.

14 pages, 3 figures. Version 2 corrects coding error for Moller scattering and includes effect of Z-Z' mixing on Z' decays, with small changes in results. Added new figures, tables, and citations. Version 3 is as published in PRD, adds discussion of fine tuning of model parameters
