Precision measurements, extra quark-lepton generations and 50 GeV neutrinos

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The existence of extra chiral generations with all fermions heavier than mZm_Z is strongly disfavored by the precision electroweak data. However the data still allow a few extra generations if the neutral leptons have masses close to 50 GeV. Such heavy neutrino can be searched in the reaction e+eNNˉγe^+ e^- \to N\bar{N}\gamma. Existence of 50 GeV neutrinos makes standard model Higgs boson invisible.
