Asymmetries ate + e − colliders for new quarks inE 6 theories

  • Published:

Abstract

We examine the forward-backward, left-right, and azimuthal asymmetries of quark pairs produced ine + e − annihilation as a probe of possible new physics resulting fromE 6 theories. The values of these asymmetries are compared for the production ofE 6-exotic, mirror, and fourth generation quarks. Our results show that asymmetries provide an excellent method for distinguishing between these possible types of new quarks.
