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

${{\mathit Z}}_{\mathit LR}$ is the extra neutral boson in left-right symmetric models. ${{\mathit g}_{{L}}}$ = ${{\mathit g}_{{R}}}$ is assumed unless noted. Values in parentheses assume stronger constraint on the Higgs sector, usually motivated by specific left-right symmetric models (see the Note on the ${{\mathit W}^{\,'}}$). Values in brackets are from cosmological and astrophysical considerations and assume a light right-handed neutrino. Direct search bounds assume decays to Standard Model fermions only, unless noted.

1  DEL-AGUILA 2010 give 95$\%$ CL limit on the ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing $-0.0012<\theta <$ 0.0004.
2  ABE 1997S find $\sigma\mathrm {({{\mathit Z}^{\,'}})}{\times }$B( ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ , ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}$ )$<40~$fb for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}}>600$ GeV at $\sqrt {\mathit s }$= 1.8 TeV.
3  BOBOVNIKOV 2018 use the ATLAS limits on $\sigma $( ${{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ )$\cdot{}$B( ${{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit W}^{+}}{{\mathit W}^{-}}$ ) to constrain the ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing parameter $\xi $. See their Fig. 10 for limits in $\mathit M_{{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}}−\xi $ plane.
4  ERLER 2009 give 95$\%$ CL limit on the ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing $-0.0013<\theta <$ 0.0006.
5  ABDALLAH 2006C give 95$\%$ CL limit $\vert \theta \vert <$ 0.0028. See their Fig. 14 for limit contours in the mass-mixing plane.
6  ABBIENDI 2004G give 95$\%$ CL limit on ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing $−$0.00098 $<\theta <$ 0.00190. See their Fig. 20 for the limit contour in the mass-mixing plane. $\sqrt {s }$ = 91 to 207$~$GeV.
7  CHEUNG 2001B limit is derived from bounds on contact interactions in a global electroweak analysis.
8  ABREU 2000S give 95$\%$ CL limit on ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing $\vert \theta \vert <0.0018$. See their Fig.$~$6 for the limit contour in the mass-mixing plane. $\sqrt {\mathit s }$=90 to 189 GeV.
9  BARATE 2000I search for deviations in cross section and asymmetries in ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ fermions at $\sqrt {\mathit s }$=90 to 183 GeV. Assume $\theta $=0. Bounds in the mass-mixing plane are shown in their Figure$~$18.
10  CHAY 2000 also find $-0.0003<\theta <0.0019$. For ${{\mathit g}_{{R}}}$ free, ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}}>430$ GeV.
11  ERLER 2000 discuss the possibility that a discrepancy between the observed and predicted values of ${{\mathit Q}_{{W}}}({}^{}\mathrm {Cs}$) is due to the exchange of ${{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$. The data are better described in a certain class of the ${{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ models including ${{\mathit Z}}_{\mathit LR}$ and ${{\mathit Z}_{{\chi}}}$.
12  CASALBUONI 1999 discuss the discrepancy between the observed and predicted values of ${{\mathit Q}_{{W}}}({}^{}\mathrm {Cs}$). It is shown that the data are better described in a class of models including the ${{\mathit Z}}_{\mathit LR}$ model.
13  CZAKON 1999 perform a simultaneous fit to charged and neutral sectors. Assumes manifest left-right symmetric model. Finds $\vert \theta \vert <0.0042$.
14  ERLER 1999 give 90$\%$ CL limit on the ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing $-0.0009<\theta <0.0017$.
15  ERLER 1999 assumes 2 Higgs doublets, transforming as 10 of SO(10), embedded in $\mathit E_{6}$.
16  BARENBOIM 1998 also gives 68$\%$ CL limits on the ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing $-0.0005<\theta <0.0033$. Assumes Higgs sector of minimal left-right model.
17  CONRAD 1998 limit is from measurements at CCFR, assuming no ${{\mathit Z}}-{{\mathit Z}^{\,'}}$ mixing.
18  VILAIN 1994B assume ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit t}}}$ = 150 GeV and $\theta $=0. See Fig.$~$2 for limit contours in the mass-mixing plane.
19  RIZZO 1993 analyses CDF limit on possible two-jet resonances.
20  GRIFOLS 1990 limit holds for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}_{{R}}}}{ {}\lesssim{} }~$1 MeV. A specific Higgs sector is assumed. See also GRIFOLS 1990D, RIZZO 1991 .
21  BARBIERI 1989B limit holds for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}_{{R}}}}{}\leq{}$10 MeV. Bounds depend on assumed supernova core temperature.
