The measurements are consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model and are used to study a variety of models including the S-Matrix ansatz for e+e- -> ffbar scattering and several models which include physics beyond the Standard Model: the exchange of Z' bosons, contact interactions between fermions, the exchange of gravitons in large extra dimensions and the exchange of sneutrino in R-parity violating supersymmetry.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-06T13:08:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lep energies", "fermion-pair production", "interpretation", "standard model", "large extra dimensions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 79, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 699726, "adsabs": "2005hep.ex...12012T" } } }
