These limits are from ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ , ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ , or ${{\mathit e}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}{{\mathit X}}$ and depend on transition magnetic coupling between ${{\mathit \nu}}$ /${{\mathit e}}$ and ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ . Assumptions about ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ decay mode are given in footnotes.
