Abstract: (APS)
Quantum loop corrections to the quark mixing matrix resulting from additional neutral gauge bosons are computed. Agreement between the finding ‖Vud‖2+‖Vus‖2+‖Vub2=0.9984±0.0021 and the unitarity value of 1 is used to provide a generic bound on masses and couplings of such bosons. For grand unified models of the type SO(100→SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1)≊U(1)X, &≳266 GeV at 90% confidence limit. That bound also applies to the extra boson in some specific E6 superstring-motivated models. In the general case of E6→SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1) ×U(1)η×U(1)η’ with &, we obtain the bound &≥254 GeV at 90% C.L.
