A future $e^+e^-$ collider could run at the Z-pole to perform important electroweak (EW) precision measurements, while such a run may not be viable for a future muon collider. This however can be compensated by the measurements of other EW…

We derive the low-energy electroweak effective lagrangian for the case of additional heavy, unmixed, sequential fermions. Present LEP1 data still allow for the presence of a new quark and/or lepton doublet with masses greater than $M_Z/2$,…
