Abstract: (Elsevier)
A study of single photon events, produced in association with light neutrinos or other weakly interacting neutral particlaes in e + e − collisions, has been performed at √ s =54.0–61.4 GeV with the VENUS detector at TRISTAN. No anomalous signal has been observed in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 28.2 pb −1 . This result indicates that the upper limit on the number of light neutrinos, N ν , is 11 (15) at a 90 (95)% confidence level. Combining this with published results from other e + e − experiments, the number of light neutrinos is limited to N ν <3.9(4.8) at the 90 (95)% confidence level. Limits are also placed on the mass of supersymmetric particles.
