We assume that the new U(1) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken and that the $\\gamma_B$ mass is smaller than $m_Z$. Nevertheless, we show that the model survives the current experimental constraints. In addition, we argue that evidence for the existence of such a particle could be hidden in existing LEP and Tevatron data. We determine the allowed regions of the $m_B$-$\\alpha_B$ plane, where $m_B$ is the $\\gamma_B$ mass, and where $4 \\pi \\alpha_B$ is the squared gauge coupling. We point out that in some parts of the allowed parameter space our model can account for rapidity gap events in proton-antiproton scattering seen at the Fermilab Tevatron.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1994-11-12T23:07:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gauge boson", "baryon number", "rapidity gap events", "current experimental constraints", "gauge symmetry" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
