ABSTRACT

We discuss the potential of a 0,5 TtV linear collider to explore manifestations of ex-tended (or alternative) electroweak models of current interest, through measurements ofthe reaction e+e" -+ W+W" with both initial and final states polarization. Specifically,we consider the possibility to put stringent constraints on lepton mixing (or extendedlepton couplings) and Z — Z' mixing, showing in particular the usefulness of polarizationin order to disentangle these effects.

It is generally believed that, although tremendously successful from the phenomeno-logical point of view, the Standard Model (SM) should not be considered as theultimate theory. Most proposed Bchemes attempting to address the conceptual prob-lems of the SM predict the existence of additional building blocks, namely new heavygauge bosons and fermions. These extra degrees of freedom might be too heavy fordirect production and, in high energy reactions, they could manifest themselvesonly as "indirect" effects induced by mixings with the conventional SM fermionsand bosons. In general, such mixing effects reflect the underlying extended gaugesymmetry and/or the Higgs sector of the model.

Studies of high energy e+e* annihilation can give an opportunity to make precisetests of mixing effects. In e+e" ~* / / , one can search for indirect effects at thestandard Z resonance [l]- [7J. At the higher energies of planned linear colliders,this reaction should be convenient mostly for the direct search of these new matterparticles [8)-[10], if their production is allowed.

Conversely, at linear colliders, the process

e + + e - (1)

should be quite sensitive to indirect new physics effects [11, 12], which can destroy theSM gauge cancellation among the different contributions, and hence cause deviationsof the cross section from the SM prediction which can increase with the CM energy.In fact, considering the cross sections for longitudinally polarized initial e~e+ beams,namely <rLR and <rfit, significant improvements of the present limits on lepton mixingand Z-Z' mixing could be obtained. In this paper, we would like to extend theanalyses of lepton and Z-Z' mixing presented in [11, 12], and discuss the role offinal W+W~ polarization measurements (combined with initial state polarization)in order to further improve the bounds. In addition, we shall see that combininginitial and final states polarization provides a simple way to derive separate boundsfor lepton mixing and Z-Z' mixing.

Although the discussion could be done quite in general, we believe it more in-teresting and useful to present this kind of analysis, and quantitatively derive thebounds, making reference to some specific extended (or alternative) electroweak mod-els of current interest.

Specifically, for the leptons we shall limit ourselves to the cases listed in Table 1,where the considered new fermions are either doublets or singlets under the gaugesymmetry SU{2). We also assume that the new, "exotic" fermions only mix with the

standard ones within the same family (the electron and its neutrino being the oneBrelevant to process (1)), which assures the absence of tree-level generation changingneutral currents. The needed fermion mixing formalism has been introduced, e.g., in[12]. Basically, denoting by v, e, N and E the mass eigenstates, the neutral currentcouplings of leptons to Z and Z' can be written, respectively, as

Ir Ic" 2 , IE0 29a = 9a Cla + 9a *!<•> (2)

where /" = e°, E° are gauge-eigenstates, and a = L, R. Moreover, in Eq. (2)cln = cosV>ia and s,a = sinVila, with if/la the mixing angle between the two chargedleptons.

The charged current couplings are given by:

GL = ClLc2L ~ 2T-j^Jl£J^2Li (*R — ^2J^R3^R32R,

and, analogously to (2), Cja = cos^ a and aja = sin^a refer to the mixing betweenthe neutral leptons.

In turn, Z-Z' mixing is introduced through the relation

(4)IZA _ t cos^ sin^\ (Z\\Z2) ~ l-sin^ cos^j \Z')'

where Z, Z' are weak-eigenstates, Z\, Z2 are mass-eigenstates and 4> i8 the Z-Z'mixing angle.

As a class of models where lepton mixing and Z-Z' mixing can be simultaneouslypresent, we will consider in the sequel the case of E$ models. In these extendedschemes, the fermion couplings to Z are the familiar SM ones:

with s\y = sin2 6\y and gz = l/s\vcw, and the couplings to Z' are:

(5)

In Eq. (6): gz, - gzsw, A = cos^/2v/6, B = V^Osin/3/12, with 0 specifying theorientation of the f ( l ) ' generator in the ^6 group space [13]. The most commonlyconsidered models are Z', Z'^ and — Z'^ models, which are specified by f3 = 0, JT/2

and (w - arctan^5fij, respectively.Finally, taking Eq. (4) into account, the leptons neutral current couplings to Zx

and Z2 are, respectively:

* / . = . 9L - -9 C)

Obviously, the SM case is reobtained when all (fermion and gauge boson) mixingangles are put equal to zero.

The cross section of process (1) can be expressed in general as

dcosO = 4K1d<rRL daut

dcosd

where f\ [P?) are less than unity, and represent the actual degrees of longitudinalpolarization of eT (e+).

The relevant polarized differential cross sections for e~ej[" —t W~Wp can bewritten as

H e r e C = i r a 2 . m . / 3 H ' / 2 i , w i t h fiw = {l- the W velocity in the CM frame,and the helicities of the initial e~e+ and final W~W+ states are labeled as ab =(RL, LR, LL, RR) and a0 = ( I I , TT, TV), respectively. The Ok are functionsof the kinematical variables which characterize the various possibilities for the finalW+W~ polarizations {TT, LL, TL + LT or the sum over all W+jy~ polarizationstates for unpolarized W's). The F^ are combinations of coupling constants includingthe two kinds of mixings.

For the LR case we have

The term proportional to r/y represents the neutral heavy lepton exchangediagram in the t-channel, which accompanies the (/-exchange. Finally, in Eq. (10),gwirz, = cot 9W cos <j> and gwwz? = - cot 9w sin $•

The RL case is simply obtained from Eq. (10) by exchanging I <-> R. Also, forthe LL and RR cases there is only Af-exchange:

In order to assess the sensitivity of the different cross sections to ordinary lepton-exotic lepton mixing and to Z-Z' mixing, we introduce the deviation from the SM

cross section A<r = a - ITSM, where a = ol(i1,2J) = J"̂ 2 (d<rjdz)dz (z = cosfi), and*i, z2 specify the kinematical range experimentally allowed. Then, we define a x*function

For that we take the channel oflepton pairs (ev + fiv) plus two hadronic jets, which corresponds to cw ~ 0.3 [14]-[17].3 The criterion we shall follow to derive bounds on the mixing angles will be toimpose that x2 < Xmii where xtrit is a number which specifies a chosen confidencelevel and in principle can depend on the details of the analysis.

For simplicity, we start our analysis by considering the case where there is leptonmixing only, and no Z-Z' mixing. Present limits on s\ and s\ are in general lessthan 1CT2 [6], so that we can expect that retaining only the terms of order s\a, s\a

and s\os2a in Atr should be an adequate approximation. Taking Eqs. (2), (3) and(5) into account, the lepton couplings needed in Eq. (8) to this approximation, forthe models of interest here, are collected in Table 2.

The inputs in our analysis will be the following ones. We shall consider as RL orLR the simplified situations P1 = —P2 = P > 0 and Pj = — P2 — —P, respectively,with P = 0.9.* For the integrated luminosity we take Ljnl = 20/i~ ' as expectedat the planned 0.5 TeV lineal colliders [16, 19], Concerning the experimentally ac-cessible range for the scattering angle, we assume a 10° cut, i.e., z2 = -z, = 0.98.

••"Actually, this reconstruction efficiency might be somewhat smsJleT, depending on the detector[14]. On the other h&qd, foi our estimatei we have taken a rathei conservative choice for theintegrated luminosity, while recent progress in machine design seems to indicate that quite largervalues are attainable [16] and can compensate for the reduction of ew

4Such a value could be attainable for electrons [18]. In the cue the positron beam was unpolar-iied, Eq. (8) shows that one would loose a factor 1/2 in statistics, which would affects by v'2 thebounda for the cases dominated by the statistical uncertainty.

We will present the bounds on the mixing angles at the two standard deviationslevel (or 95% CL), which for our analysis corresponds to xL,t = 4. Also, we take(&<TI'<r),v,t = 2%, as currently assumed [14].

As indicated in Table 2, for the case of lepton vector doublets 6trRL and ScrLR

separately constrain j)2ft and (<,/, - *2L}2, respectively. On the other hand, Table

2 and Eq. (10) show that that it is not possible to constrain s\R in the adoptedapproximation for Atr. Analogously, one expectB a drastically reduced sensitivity tos2

i: for mirror and vector singlet models, basically due to the cancellation betweenthe g", and the G"L entries in Table 2.

The bounds on a\R and (sn - «2i.)2 for vector doublet leptons are represented inFig. 1, as functions of the heavy neutral lepton mass m/v- Since we are concentratingon indirect effects, for m/v we have assumed a minimum value of 250 GeV. Concern-ing the final W+ W~ polarizations, it turns out that the most restrictive limits (whichcan compete with current ones) result from the LL case. In Fig. 2 we report, form/v = 300 GeV, the bounds on s\H and («it — S2L)2 from Fig. 1 along with the areaallowed by the cross sections for RR and LL initial polarizations with, respectively,P\ = P2 = ±0.9 (and longitudinal W's). As a curiosity, if a "signal" (namely, adeviation from the SM) was observed for RR + LL initial polarizations, separatedeterminations of j ^ f i , ( i n — S2t)2 and m/\r would be possible from the combinationof the three cases RL, LR and RR + LL. Conversely, if no signal at all was observed,still consideration of the cross section for initial RR + LL might be useful to improvethe limits allowed by RL and LR, for not too heavy m/v (m/v < 130 GeV for theinputs assumed here), because in this case the RR+ LL curve would be able to crossthe region allowed by the other two cross sections. For larger mN the limits on s\R

and (an. — «2/,)2 are determined by solely the RL and LR cross sections. In Fig. 1we show also the bounds for the limiting case m/v —* oo. Indeed, in general the moststringent constraints are obtained for larger values of m/v. This feature reflects thedecreasing behaviour of the heavy neutrino exchange contribution to ACT, which isproportional to r/v and opposite in sign to the other mixing effects (see Eq. (10)and Table 2). This leads to larger A<x in Eq. (16) and correspondingly to a bet-ter sensitivity on the mixing angles. In any case, the limits cannot go below thosecorresponding to m/v —* oo if the luminosity is fixed at the chosen value.

Turning to the other exotic lepton models, from Table 2 one can notice thefollowing relations for the deviations from the SM:

A£rtn(mirror) = A <rLR( singlet),

Aer (doublet) = A<rRL(mittot),

AiTHL(singlet) = 0. (17)

Due to Eq. (17), in the case of no observed signal only three kinds of bounds canbe derived, instead of the six ones which could be expected a priori. Specifically, inaddition to the two ones for the vector doublet model exhibited in Figs. 1 and 2, thethird one results from the initial LR polarization and is relevant either to the mirror

6

and the singlet leptons. This is represented in Fig. 3 which, shows the correspondingupper bound on a\L for these models.

We now discuss the case where there is Z-Z' mixing only, and no lepton mixing.In this regard, we recall from Eq. (4) that

tanJ d> -Ml-.

(18)

with M | = Mw/cos29w, and, since we are interested in indirect effects, M, <£ECM •£ M2. In this case the deviations from the SM arise from the fermion couplingconstants in Eq. (7) and from the Z\ exchange amplitude which involves the Z massshift AM = Mz - Mj induced by the Z-Z' mixing angle <f> [11]. Current limits on 0and AM from LEP are, in general, |0| < 0.01 [l]-[7] and AM < 90 MeV [7].

In Fig. 4 we report the limits on <j> as a function of the EB model parametercos/9, resulting from the cross section for both longitudinal final W (which turnsout to be the most sensitive one to such mixing effects), with the different initialbeams polarizations. This figure shows the complementary roles of the RL and LRcross sections in limiting Z-Z' mixing over the full range of J3, The typical limitson |0| are of the order of 1,5 x 10"3 to 2.5 x 10~3, and for selected values of /3 canconsiderably improve the present situation [1]-[7J. The orders of magnitude in Fig.4 could be directly guessed by considering that the departure from the SM crosssection relevant, e.g., to eje^ -» W£W£ entering in Eq.(16) is: Ao?} oc AF/{'-. Inturn, AFf*1' can be written, up to linear terms in <j> and AM, as

A/1/"" = -4 (1 - )

(19)

(20)

Eq. (20) gives, for example in the case of the ^-model, \4>\ < 3 x 10 :i with weakdependence on AM ~ 90 MeV. Analogously, for LR case one can simply find|0| < 1.5 x 10"3.

Finally, we discuss the case where both lepton mixing and Z-Z' mixing occur,so that the leptonic coupling constants are as in Eq. (7) and the Z-\, Z% couplingsto W are as in Eq. (10). In this case we can look for the regions allowed to thecombinations (a]R, <j>) and ((*ii — «2t)2, <j>)> f°r fixed m^- Figs. 5 and 6 show,as typical examples, the results of this analysis for the ^i-model and the x-model,respectively, with fixed mN = 300 GtV. As one can see, the shapes of the allowedregions for the mixing angles are quite different for these two cases. From the explicitcalculation it turns out that this is due to the different relative signs (depending onthe value of /?) between lepton and Z-Z' mixing contributions to the deviations Ac.Specifically, for the ^i-modet the coefficient of the 0-term has same or opposite sign

Page 7: INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICSstreaming.ictp.it/preprints/P/94/327.pdf · symmetry and/or the Higgs sector of the model. Studies of high energy e+e* annihilation can

with respect to the lepton mixing-term (which is always negative) for the RL and LRinitial polarizations, respectively. On the contrary, for the x-model the above signsare opposite to the lepton mixing-term for both LR and RL initial polarizations.

Concerning Fig. 5 and the corresponding analysis for the iji-model, we shouldnotice that the limits on the Z-Z' angle <j> are numerically quite consistent withthose previously found by assuming zero lepton mixing t\R = (S^L — *si)2 = 0,and numerically improve the present findings. In turn, the bounds on the leptonmixing angles B\R and (J)IL — S2L)3 are somewhat looser than in the case ^ = 0discussed above (roughly, by a factor of two), but still numerically competitive withthe current situation. Finally, we can remark that the cross sections for longitudinalW+W~ production provide by themselves the most stringent constraints for thismodel.

Different from the ^'•model. Pig. 6 shows that the cross sections for longitudinalW-pair production must be supplemented by the measurement of the TL final statein order to obtain the best limits for the ^-model. Also, for such model, in therange of negative (j> the limit on Z-Z' mixing is consistent with the one obtainedin the case of zero lepton mixing, while the bound somewhat worsens for positive<j>. However, these limits can be still considered as an improvement over the presentbounds. On the other hand, the constraints on the lepton mixing angles are looserthan those found in the case of zero Z-Z' mixing. In this regard one should noticethat there is a strong correlation between lepton mixing and Z-Z' mixing which couldbe very useful in order to test the ^-model. Also, it turns out that the shapes of theRL and LR allowed regions in Fig. 6 change with the CM energy, giving differentintersections among the relevant curves. Thus, the combination of measurements atdifferent energies should considerably help to reduce of allowed regions.

The examples discussed above show the advantage of combining observables cor-responding to the various initial and final polarizations in order to test physicaleffects beyond the Standard Model which occur through deviations from the SMcross sections in process (1). As a small final remark, we would mention that theprocedure presented above could be applied more extensively. A case where a similaranalysis might prove useful could be the strongly interacting electroweak symmetrybreaking model BESS [20]-[22j. The non-standard parameters of this model, in itssimplest version, are the mass M\- of a new heavy neutral boson, its gauge couplingg", and its direct coupling to fermions h. As an example Fig. 7 shows the bounds,which might be obtained from the combination of LR and RL cross sections for lon-gitudinal W, on ratio of gauge couplings g/g" and b. Also in this case, initial statepolarization is found to help in reducing the region allowed to the model parameters.
