Below Threshold $Z^{\prime }$ Mass and Coupling Determinations at the NLC

Abstract

We examine the capability of the NLC to determine the mass as well as the couplings to leptons and $b$-quarks of a new neutral gauge boson below production threshold. By using data collected at several different values of $\sqrt{s}$, we demonstrate how this can be done in a model-independent manner.
