We derive inequalities which translate the precise determination of the diagonal Z couplings, in particular at LEP, into stringent bounds on the off-diagonal ones. The resulting limits can be saturated in minimal extensions with one vector doublet or singlet. In this case, 23 and 6 single top events, respectively, are predicted at LEP2 for an integrated luminosity of 500 1/pb per experiment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1999-01-22T19:48:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "constraints", "large flavor changing neutral couplings", "exotic quark singlets", "ordinary fermions", "precise determination" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
