Abstract

We report on a search for new quarks in hadronic Z° decays. From the event shape analysis of a data sample containing 2185 multihadronic annihilation events, we observe no evidence for the top or b' quarks. We derive limits for the top and b' quark masses under the assumption of various possible standard model and non-standard model decay schemes. Our search is sensitive to quark masses larger than 23 GeV/c²; it yields the following lower limits at a 95% confidence level: 44.5 GeV/c² for the top quark mass and 45.2 GeV/c² for the b′ quark mass.

N2 - We report on a search for new quarks in hadronic Z° decays. From the event shape analysis of a data sample containing 2185 multihadronic annihilation events, we observe no evidence for the top or b' quarks. We derive limits for the top and b' quark masses under the assumption of various possible standard model and non-standard model decay schemes. Our search is sensitive to quark masses larger than 23 GeV/c2; it yields the following lower limits at a 95% confidence level: 44.5 GeV/c2 for the top quark mass and 45.2 GeV/c2 for the b′ quark mass.
