Constraints on Zprime models from electron and muon decay modes

Analysis based on 110 pb^{-1} of data

Abstract

A search for a neutral heavy vector gauge boson, Zprime, was conducted in pbar-p collisions using 110pb$^{-1}$ of data obtained at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We present preliminary 95% CL limits on the production of Zprime in different models using its e+e- and mu+mu- decay modes.
