Bilepton and exotic quark mass limits in 331 models from Z -> b anti-b decay

Abstract

We study the effect of new physics on the Z-decay into b anti-b pairs in the framework of 331 models. The decay Z -> b anti-b is computed at one loop level and, using previous results, we evaluate this branching fraction in the framework of 331 models. A wide range of the space parameter of the model is considered and possible deviations from the standard model predictions are explored. From precision measurements at the Z-pole we find the allowed region for MJ3, MX at 95 % CL.
