Description

The process anti pp -> N1N2 +..., where N1 and N2 are neutral leptons, N1 -> (neutrals), N2 -> (jet), is examined as a possible source of events at √s = 540 GeV in which single jets are observed opposite missing energy. Some of these events have been interpreted as decays Z0 -> Nanti N, where N is a weak isodoublet. We analyze aspects of this suggestion. The highest transverse-momentum event would require another source. One possibility is a new neutral gauge boson of mass >= 115 GeV/c2, decaying to pairs of massive right-handed neutrinos. (orig.)
