Title: "Indications for an Extra Neutral Gauge Boson
in Electroweak Precision Data"
Abstract:
A new analysis of the hadronic peak cross section at LEP 1
implies a small amount of missing invisible width in Z decays,
while the effective weak charge in atomic parity violation has
been determined recently to 0.6% accuracy, indicating a
significantly negative S parameter. As a consequence of these two
deviations, the data are described well if the presence of an
additional Z' boson, such as predicted in Grand Unified Theories,
is assumed. Its favored mass range is below 1 TeV, i.e. in a
range accessible to Run II at the Tevatron.
