Abstract

Constraints on extra neutral gauge bosons are obtained from e+effˉe^+e^-\rightarrow f\bar f at NLC energies. Model independent limits on the ZffˉZ'f\bar f couplings and lower limits on the ZZ' mass are discussed. Typical GUTs with MZM_{Z'} up to (3 -- 6) s\sqrt{s} can be excluded. A distinction between different GUT scenarios is possible if MZ3sM_{Z'}\le 3\sqrt{s}. Radiative corrections give only small changes to the ZZ' exclusion limits provided that appropriate cuts are applied. %The inclusion of systematic errors leads to slightly worse results for %MZlimM_{Z'}^{lim}.
