Searches for new quarks and leptons produced in Z-boson decay

We have searched for events with new-particle topologies in 390 hadronic {ital Z} decays with the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. We place 95%-confidence-level lower limits of 40.7 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} for the top-quark mass, 42.0 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} for the mass of a fourth-generation...

Zusammenfassung:We have searched for events with new-particle topologies in 390 hadronic {ital Z} decays with the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. We place 95%-confidence-level lower limits of 40.7 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} for the top-quark mass, 42.0 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} for the mass of a fourth-generation charge {minus}(1/3) quark, and 41.3 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} for the mass of an unstable Dirac neutral lepton.
