Rare Z Decays

Abstract

Motivated by the well known impact of rare decays of hadrons and leptons on the evolution of the Standard Model and on limits for new physics, as well as by the proposal for Giga-Z option at TESLA, we investigate the rare decay Z -> b s-bar in various extensions of the Standard Model.
