Number from ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ Colliders

Number of Light ${{\mathit \nu}}$ Types from Direct Measurement of Invisible ${{\mathit Z}}$ Width

INSPIRE   JSON  (beta) PDGID:
S007NI
In the following, the invisible ${{\mathit Z}}$ width is obtained from studies of single-photon events from the reaction ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\overline{\mathit \nu}}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$. All are obtained from LEP runs in the ${\it{}E}^{\it{}ee}_{\rm{}cm}$ range $88 - 209$ GeV.
