An effective theory of a compositeZ

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

It is shown that the experimental value of sin2 θw can be obtained if theZ is a bound state of two haplons provided that the haplons carry a new hypercolour quantum number in addition to colour. This approach also leads to the prediction that the electromagnetic couplings of theZ are substantially larger than they are in standard electroweak theory. It may be possible to observe these anomalous couplings in the processe + e −→Zγ at LEP 200 where theZ is longitudinally polarised.
