Limits for ${{\boldsymbol Z}_{{\chi}}}$ INSPIRE search

${{\mathit Z}_{{\chi}}}$ is the extra neutral boson in SO(10) $\rightarrow$ SU(5) ${\times }$ U(1)$_{{{\mathit \chi}}}$. ${{\mathit g}_{{\chi}}}$ = ${{\mathit e}}$/cos $\theta _{\mathit W}$ is assumed unless otherwise stated. We list limits with the assumption $\rho ~=~$1 but with no further constraints on the Higgs sector. Values in parentheses assume stronger constraint on the Higgs sector motivated by superstring models. Values in brackets are from cosmological and astrophysical considerations and assume a light right-handed neutrino.

15  BARGER 2003B limit is from the nucleosynthesis bound on the effective number of light neutrino $\delta \mathit N_{{{\mathit \nu}}}<$1. The quark-hadron transition temperature $\mathit T_{\mathit c}$=150 MeV is assumed. The limit with $\mathit T_{\mathit c}$=400 MeV is $>$4300 GeV.

29  ABE 1990F use data for $\mathit R$, $\mathit R_{ {{\mathit \ell}} {{\mathit \ell}} }$, and $\mathit A_{ {{\mathit \ell}} {{\mathit \ell}} }$. ABE 1990F fix ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$ = $80.49$ $\pm0.43$ $\pm0.24$ GeV and ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}}}$ = $91.13$ $\pm0.03$ GeV.
30  Assumes the nucleosynthesis bound on the effective number of light neutrinos ($\delta \mathit N_{{{\mathit \nu}}}$ $<~$1) and that ${{\mathit \nu}_{{R}}}$ is light (${ {}\lesssim{} }~$1 MeV).
