A search for Z0 decays into pairs of possible new heavy quarks (t and b′), new heavy charged leptons (L+,L-), stable heavy neutral leptons nu_L and unstable heavy neutral leptons (L0) is performed on data collected by the ALEPH detector corresponding to 11550 events of Z0->hadrons. The limits on the masses of the heavy quarks are M_t > 45.8 GeV and M_b′ > 46.0 GeV, allowing for both charged-current and flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the b′. If an L+/- decays into a stable nu_L, then for M_nu_L<42.7 GeV, the mass of L+/- is excluded for all values of M_L+/-> M_nuL. Finally, while the mass of the stable nu_L is excluded up to 42.7 GeV, the mass of the unstable L0 is excluded up to 45.7 GeV with the mixing parameters |U_lL0|^2 down to 10^−13 at this mass. For 25.0 GeV < M_L0 < 42.7 GeV, all values of |U_lL0|^2 are excluded. All limits are given at 95% CL.

Abstract

A search for Z0 decays into pairs of possible new heavy quarks (t and b′), new heavy charged leptons (L+,L-), stable heavy neutral leptons nu_L and unstable heavy neutral leptons (L0) is performed on data collected by the ALEPH detector corresponding to 11550 events of Z0->hadrons. The limits on the masses of the heavy quarks are M_t > 45.8 GeV and M_b′ > 46.0 GeV, allowing for both charged-current and flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the b′. If an L+/- decays into a stable nu_L, then for M_nu_L<42.7 GeV, the mass of L+/- is excluded for all values of M_L+/-> M_nuL. Finally, while the mass of the stable nu_L is excluded up to 42.7 GeV, the mass of the unstable L0 is excluded up to 45.7 GeV with the mixing parameters |U_lL0|^2 down to 10^−13 at this mass. For 25.0 GeV < M_L0 < 42.7 GeV, all values of |U_lL0|^2 are excluded. All limits are given at 95% CL.
