Abstract

We consider an extended electroweak gauge group: SU(2)1×_1 \times SU(2)2×_2 \times U(1)Y_Y where the first and second generation of fermions couple to SU(2)1_1 and the third generation couples to SU(2)2_2. Bounds based on heavy gauge boson searches and current precision electroweak measurements are placed on the masses of the new heavy gauge bosons. In particular we find that the mass of the heavy W boson can not be less than 800 GeV. For some range of the allowed parameter space, these heavy gauge bosons produce observable signals at the Tevatron and LEP-II.
