Using a sample of e + e annihilation events collected with the L3 detector at the Z resonance corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 pb 1 , we have searched for anomalous production of X nal states where X represents stable, weakly interacting particles and the photon energy is greater than 15 GeV. The sample of events found is consistent with Standard Model expectations. Upper limits are set on Z couplings, the neutrino magnetic moment, and the branching ratio for Z ! X.
The results of the searches for neutral Higgs boson production in the process e+e---+ Z* Ho are reported, focusing on Higgs boson masses below 70 GeV. The data sample consists of three million hadronic Z" decays collected by the L3 experiment at LEP from 1991 through 1994. No signal is found leading to a lower limit on the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson of 60.2 GeV at 95% C.L.These results are also interpreted in the framework of the General Two Doublet Model and limits on the nonstandard Higgs boson production through the process e + -e 4 Z* ho are set. A lower limit of 66.7 GeV at 95% CL. is obtained for the case where the Higgs decays into an invisible final state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
