Abstract

We study constraints on additional bosons predicted in the supersymmetric (SUSY) models by using the updated results of electroweak experiments -- -pole experiments, measurements and low-energy neutral current (LENC) experiments. We find that the effects of - mixing are parametrized by (i) a tree-level contribution to the -parameter, (ii) the effective - mass mixing angle $\xibar$. In addition, the effect of the direct exchange of the heavier mass eigenstate in the LENC processes is parametrized by (iii) a contact term $\contact$. We give the theoretical predictions for the observables in the electroweak experiments together with the standard model radiative corrections. Constraints on and $\xibar$ from the -pole and experiments and those on $\contact$ from the LENC experiments are separately shown. Impacts of the kinetic mixing between the and gauge bosons on the -analysis are studied. We show the 95% CL lower mass limit of as a function of the effective - mixing parameter , a combination of the mass and kinetic mixings. Theoretical prediction on and is found for the and models by assuming the minimal particle content of the SUSY models. In a certain region of the parameter space, the boson mass in the detectable range of LHC is still allowed.
