We analyze various models with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry in addition to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group at low energies, and impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in all such models, and on the Z-Z'…
We look at a number of simple, but representative, models of extended electroweak gauge structures, and present the general contributions to a_muon from the heavy Z' and W' electroweak gauge bosons. Of the models we have examined, none can…
Overall, the Standard Model describes electroweak precision data rather well. There are however a few areas of tension (charged current universality, NuTeV, (g-2)_\mu, b quark asymmetries), which I review emphasizing recent theoretical and…
We consider electroweak (EW) gauge boson corrections to the masses of pseudoscalar mesons to next to leading order (NLO) in $\alpha_s$ and $1/N_C$. The pion mass shift induced by the $Z$-boson is shown to be $m_{\pi^\pm}-m_{\pi^0} =…
