Model Independent Bounds on Kinetic Mixing (1006.0973v1)
Published 4 Jun 2010 in hep-ph and hep-ex
Abstract: New Abelian vector bosons can kinetically mix with the hypercharge gauge boson of the Standard Model. This letter computes the model independent limits on vector bosons with masses from 1 GeV to 1 TeV. The limits arise from the numerous e+e- experiments that have been performed in this energy range and bound the kinetic mixing by epsilon < 0.03 for most of the mass range studied, regardless of any additional interactions that the new vector boson may have.
