Non-standard electroweak gauge models
Weak boson mass spectra of gauge model alternatives to the standard model are examined. In extended gauge models SU(2)/sub L/ x U(1) x G with fermion assignments of the standard model and simple Higgs, a Z-boson exists with mass between 65 and 115 GeV. In left-right electroweak models the lightest Z is less than 5-10 GeV below the standard model Z-mass. In models with strong gauge couplings, weak bosons of high mass and broad width are realized. Decays of weak bosons to doubly-charged Higgs scalars (W/sup +/ ..-->.. chi/sup + +/chi/sup -/, Z ..-->.. X/sup + +/chi/sup - -/) occur in models that give Majorana masses to neutrinos through spontaneous breakdown of lepton number conservation; spectacular signatures can result from X/sup + +/ ..-->.. ..mu../sup +/..mu../sup +/, ..mu..e/sup +/, e/sup +/e/sup +/ leptonic decays.
