We show how precision electroweak data, assuming CP conservation and flavor universality, despite being sensitive to 20 dimension 6 operators, constrain severely only 9 combinations of them. We define a set of 7 oblique parameters $\hat S,…
We calculate the oblique electroweak corrections and confront with the experiments in an extension of the Standard Model. The new fields added are a vector-like weak doublet and a singlet fermion. After electroweak symmetry breaking there…
