Search for long-lived parents of Z{sup 0} bosons in p{ovr p} collisions at {radical}{ovr s} = 1.8 TeV

We search for new long-lived particles which decay to Z{sup 0} bosons by looking for Z{sup 0}{yields}e{sup +}e{sup -} decays with displaced vertices. We find no evidence for parent particles of the Z{sup 0} with long lifetimes in 90 pb{sup -1} of data from the CDF experiment at Fermilab. We set a cr...

Zusammenfassung:We search for new long-lived particles which decay to Z{sup 0} bosons by looking for Z{sup 0}{yields}e{sup +}e{sup -} decays with displaced vertices. We find no evidence for parent particles of the Z{sup 0} with long lifetimes in 90 pb{sup -1} of data from the CDF experiment at Fermilab. We set a cross section limit as a function of the lifetime of the parent particle for both a generic Z{sup 0} parent and a fourth-generation, charge -1/3 quark that decays into Z{sup 0}b.
