Description

Exotic events with large imissing transverse momentum (up to 80-90 GeV/c) are shown to require, by their signature and the effective cross section, the existence of an object with a mass of about 180 GeV/c2, which would be produced in a resonance way by hadron beam constituents and would be able to decay into a W et and a Zjet. An excited quark, q*, which is produced in the qq fusion and can decay into Wsub(q) and Zsub(q) seems to suit most naturally as such an object. However, one cannot exclude color bosons W*, Z*, produced in q anti q collisions and decaying into Wg and Zg. Possible experiments at p anti p, pp and ep colliders are discussed which would verify the hypothesis of the excited quarks and study properties of the latter. Different hypotheses on the nature of new exotic events observed at the CERN p anti p - collider are investigated
