Photon Radiation – Radiative return to Z
• General feature of : often radiation of an initial state photon decreases effective collision energy √s’
•if √s’ close to Z peak more likely to interact significant enhancement of xsection - Radiative return to Z.
• Photon radiation complicates signal definition: Initial/Final state photons cannot be cleanly separated .
•LEP signal definition for reduced collision energy √s’ : mass of s-channel propagator with ISR-FSR interference subtracted so mass is unambiguous.

Photon Radiation – Signal definition
Data sample divided into
- non-radiative √s’/√s > 0.85.
- inclusive events √s’/√s > 0.01.
• LEP combinations and new physics searches only for high energy sample.
• Radioactive events peak at √s’ ~ MZ used for independent beam energy measurement.

LEP combinations
• Preliminary combinations for xsections σμμ, σττ, σhad and
asymmetries AFB(μμ), AFB(ττ) as well as dσ/dcosΘ’s and Rb/c, AFBb/c.
• Individual measurements performed with slightly different signal definitions corrections applied to derive results in common signal definition.
• Careful attention to correlated systematics systematic error broken down in parts according to correlations between channels, experiments.
• Averaging for xsections-asymmetries performed using BLUE technique.
Perhaps you already guess ..
In general good agreement between SM and data (χ2/d.o.f ~ 160/180).
Largest difference : Hadronic xsection slightly higher than expectation (~1.7σ).

Extra Z’ Boson
- If SM embedded into a larger gauge group new heavy gauge boson, some of which will be neutral Z’.
-In general Z’ could mix with Z0, mixing parameterized by angle θE:
0'6 6sin cosE EZ Z Z
0
0'
cos sin
sin cos'
Z Z
Z Z
- Two additional gauge groups introduced.
- In general Z0’ will be a mixed state of Zx, Zy
-Example: E(6) GUT
E(6) SO(10) × U(1)χ
SU(5) × U(1)y
SU(3)C × SU(2)L × U(1)
Model Mixing
χ ΘE=0
ψ ΘE=π/2
- Also Sequential SM Z’ has same couplings to fermions as Z.
- Left Right symmetric model (LR) introduce additional SU(2)R
symmetry.

Conclusions
• Results from 4 LEP experiments consistent and in good agreement with each other.
• Preliminary combined results for xsections, asymmetries and Rq's are in good agreement with SM expectations.
• Used to set limits to new physics depending on the model:
- contact interactions in the range 1.5-19.7 TeV.
- Z’ from 0.34-1.787 TeV.
- low scale gravity Ms > 1.2 TeV (λ=+1), 1.09 TeV (λ=-1).
• Final results now starting to appear. When available perform combinations and limit’s extraction again using same methods.
