Extra neutral gauge bosons arise in many extensions of the Standard Model. If one were to be discovered it would be necessary to measure its properties so that we could understand its origins. In this report we find that Z' couplings can be…
The status of several precisely measured electroweak parameters is reviewed. Natural relations among them are shown to constrain the Higgs mass, m_H, as well as various ``New Physics'' effects. Indications of an anomalous Zb anti-b coupling…
A basic introduction to the physics of the Standard Model Higgs boson is given. We discuss Higgs boson production in $e^+e^-$ and hadronic collisions and survey search techniques at future accelerators. The Higgs bosons of the minimal SUSY…
We analyze the bounds on the set of four "non-blind" anomalous gauge couplings that will be derived, in absence of deviations from the Standard Model predictions, from near future measurements at LEP2 and at the TEVATRON. The bounds are…
New Neutral Gauge Bosons, Z' 's, are predicted by many models of physics beyond the Standard Electroweak Theory. It is possible that a Z' would be discovered early in the Large Hadron Collider program. The next step would be to measure its…
We obtain bounds for the mass of the extra neutral gauge boson, ${Z^\prime}$, predicted by two versions of ${SU (3)_C \times SU (3)_L \times U (1)_X}$ model, namely one corresponding to its minimal version and another where the neutrinos…
We present an analysis of ZZ production at the upgraded Fermilab Tevatron for general ZZZ and ZZ-gamma couplings. Achievable limits on these couplings are shown to be a significant improvement over the limits currently obtained by LEP II.
New results from the CDF Collaboration on the invariant mass distribution of dijet events observed at the Tevatron are used to constrain the masses and couplings of new gauge bosons ($W'$ and $Z'$) as well as fundamental diquarks which can…
A summary of the W-boson properties measured by the four LEP collaborations is presented here. These properties are updated to take into account the most recent results presented at the ICHEP98 conference.
A conformally invariant hidden sector is considered, with a scalar operator $O$ of low dimension that couples to the electro-weak gauge bosons of the Standard Model, via terms such as $O F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu}$. By examining single photon…
We study how the exotic particles and supersymmetric partners would affect the discovery limit at the Tevatron and LHC for neutral gauge bosons in generic E_6 models. We examine the Z' decay in the extreme case that all of the particles are…
In the context of topcolor-assisted techicolor($TC2$) models, we investigate the feasibility of detecting the non-universal gauge boson $Z^{'}$ in the future high-energy linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider($LC$) experiments by performing…
A new analysis of the hadronic peak cross section at LEP 1 implies a small amount of missing invisible width in Z decays, while the effective weak charge in atomic parity violation has been determined recently to 0.6% accuracy, indicating a…
It is argued that the next linear colliders can serve as W factories that may be exploited for precision tests on the properties of the massive gauge bosons. The connection between the probing of the symmetry breaking sector and precise…
We explore the potential of probing for a new neutral gauge boson that emerges from a topologically nontrivial structure of spacetime, focusing on its couplings to the fermions of the Standard Model. We analyze the current experimental…
I review constraints on the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson from high energy electroweak (EW) precision data. The same data set also strongly limits various mixing effects of hypothetical extra neutral gauge bosons (Z') with the ordinary Z.…
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…
We place bounds on anomalous gauge boson couplings from LEP data with particular emphasis on those couplings which do not contribute to $Z$ decays at tree level. We use an effective field theory formalism to compute the one-loop corrections…
A complete set of dimension-6 effective contact interactions involving Higgs, gauge bosons and quarks is studied. Limits on the coefficients of these new operators are obtained from the experimental values of the $Z$ and $W$ gauge bosons…
Indirect precision data are used to constrain the masses of possible extra Z^prime bosons and their mixings with the ordinary Z. We study a variety of Z^prime bosons as they appear in E_6 and left-right unification models, the sequential Z…
