Abstract

Model independent constraints on the mass of extra neutral gauge bosons and their couplings to charged leptons are given for LEP~II and a 500\,GeV e+ee^+e^- collider. Analytical exclusion limits are derived in the Born approximation. The ZZ' limits obtained with radiative corrections are always worse than those calculated at the Born level. Polarized beams are only useful for degrees of polarization essentially larger than 50\%. Known discovery limits on extra ZZ bosons predicted by popular ZZ' models are reproduced as special cases. The ZZ' constraints are compared to those predicted by four fermion contact interactions.
