Resumo

We have tested extra Z models in the reactions e+e−→μ+μ−, τ+τ− and hadrons in the energy range 50<s<64GeV using the VENUS detector at the TRISTAN e+e− storage ring. Our data are in good agreement with the standard model prediction (χ2NDf=2.931)). We have obtained 90% confidence-level lower limits of 105, 125 and 231 GeV for the masses of ZΨ, Zη and Zχ bosons which are expected from the E6 grand unified theory. We also place a 90% confidence-level lower limit of 426 GeV for the mass of an extra-Z boson whose couplings to quarks and leptons are assumed to be the same as those for the standard Z boson. Our results exceed the previous experimental limits from the pp collider experiments, although there have been some combined analyses reporting the limits better than those obtained in the present analysis.
