Experiments measuring e/sup +/e/sup -/ and ..mu../sup +/..mu..-pairs will be the principal way of searching at ISABELLE for the Z/sup 0/ and for vector mesons made from new heavy quark-antiquark (Q anti Q ) pairs. Although the best possible mass resolution is clearly of benefit in such experiments, excessive resolution would lead to an unnecessarily large detector. It is believed that a mass resolution of a few percent is appropriate in searching both for the Z/sup 0/ and for new Q anti Q states. However, there are some interesting experiments which would require much better mass resolution, of order 1/4% FWHM. 9 references.
