$A_{LR}$, Negative $S$, and Extended Gauge Models

Abstract

The implications of the recent measurement of the left-right asymmetry, $A_{LR}$, by the SLD Collaboration for theories with extended gauge sectors is examined. We show that it is possible to arrange for large, negative values of $S$, based on an analysis of leptonic data, without serious side effects for other observables in certain classes of models. The implications of such scenarios for future measurements on the $Z$ peak, at the Tevatron, and for atomic parity violation experiments are examined.
