ABSTRACT Using the experimental values for the rates $R^{LEP} _{exp}=\Gamma_{inv}/\Gamma_{l\bar l}=5.942\pm 0.016$, $R^{Giga-Z_1}=\Gamma_{inv}/\Gamma_{l\bar l}=5.942\pm 0.012$ (most conservative) and $R^{Giga-Z_1}=\Gamma_{inv}/\Gamma_{l\bar l}=5.942\pm 0.006$ (most optimistic) we derive constraints on the number of neutrinos light species $(N_\nu)_{LRSM}$ with the invisible width method in the framework of a left-right symmetric model (LRSM) as a function of the LR mixing angle $\phi$. Using the LEP result for $N_\nu$ we may place a bound on this angle, $-1.6\times 10^{-3}\leq\phi \leq 1.1\times 10^{-3}$, which is stronger than those obtained in previous studies of the LRSM.

##### Article: Limits on the Electromagnetic and Weak Dipole Moments of the Tau-Lepton in E_6 Superstring Models
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We obtain limits on the electromagnetic and weak dipole moments of the tau-lepton in the framework of a Left-Right symmetric model (LRSM) and a class of $E_6$ inspired models with an additional neutral vector boson $Z_\theta$. Using as an input the data obtained by the L3 and OPAL Collaborations for the reaction $e^+e^-\to \tau^+\tau^-\gamma$, we get a stringent limit on the LRSM mixing angle $\phi$, $-1.66\times 10^{-3}< \phi<1.22\times 10^{-3}$, which in turn induces bounds on the tau weak dipole moments which are consistent with the bounds obtained recently by the DELPHI and ALEPH Collaborations from the reaction $e^+e^-\to \tau^+\tau^-$. We also get similar bounds for the weak dipole moments of the tau lepton in the framework of $E_6$ superstring models.

##### Article: FERMION FAMILY NUMBER AND THE Z–Z′ MIXING IN THE 3-3-1 MODEL WITH RIGHT-HANDED NEUTRINOS
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Theoretical consistency of the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos demands that the number of family of fermions be exactly equal to three. In this brief report we show that such theoretical requirement results in a clean and severe bound on the Z–Z′ mixing angle: -3.979×10-3<ϕ<1.309×10-4 with 90% CL.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this work the neutral-current scattering cross-section for neutrinos on electrons is calculated assuming that a massive Dirac neutrino is characterized by a phenomenological parameters, a charge radius langler2rangle and the right-handed currents are present in the framework of a Left-Right symmetric model (LR). Using the CHARM II result for the charge radius of the muon-neutrino |langler2rangle| < 6.0 × 10-33 cm2, we place a bound on -7.9 × 10-33 cm2 <= langr2rangleLR <= 7.9 × 10-33 cm2. We discuss the relationship between the electron neutral couplings gveV and gveA and the LR model parameters.
