We propose an interpretation for the ($l\bar l\gamma \gamma ,\ M_{\gamma \gamma }=60{\rm GeV}$) events, which have recently been reported by L3 group at LEP. This may be a first signal of `Technicolor' theory.
We explore the possibility of having new physics which could account for the $l^+l^-\gamma\gamma$ events with $M_{\gamma\gamma}\simeq 60\ $GeV recently reported by LEP. We consider models which contain an extra neutral gauge boson ($Z'$)…

We consider the 4 $\gamma\gamma ll$ ($l=\mu,\ e$) events reported by the L3 collaboration, and go through the logical possibilities which could explain the events. If they are not coincidental bremsstrahlung events, we find that the physics…

We point out that the so--called 'radiative return' events at LEP2 are suited to the study of nonstandard physics, particularly if the vector bosons are emitted into the central detector region. An effective vertex is constructed which…
