THE DYNAMICAL MODELS AND THE $Z \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ ASYMMETRY

Abstract

Motivated by the 3.2σ(1.4σ) deviations between the recent experimental value for [Formula: see text] and the standard model (SM) prediction, we examine the effect of new physics (NP) on the [Formula: see text] couplings [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. First we focus our attention on the dynamical models. Then, using effective Lagrangian techniques, we discuss the corrections of NP to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We find some kinds of NP which might explain the recently experimental data about Rb and [Formula: see text]. However, the free parameters of these kinds of NP must be severely constrained.
