14 12 Gauge & Higgs Boson Summary Table Axions (A 0 ) and Other Very Light Bosons, Searches for The standard Peccei-Quinn axion is ruled out. Variants with reduced couplings or much smaller masses are constrained by various data. The Particle Listings in the full Review contain a Note discussing axion searches. The best limit for the half-life of neutrinoless double beta decay with Majoron emission is > years (CL = 90%). NOTES In this Summary Table: When a quantity has (S =...)" to its right, the error on the quantity has been enlarged by the scale factor" S, defined as S = χ 2 /(N 1), where N is the number of measurements used in calculating the quantity. We dothiswhens > 1, which often indicates that the measurements are inconsistent. When S > 1.25, we also show intheparticle Listings an ideogram of the measurements. For more about S, see the Introduction. Adecay momentum p is given for each decay mode.for a 2-body decay, p is the momentum of each decay product in the rest frame of the decaying particle. For a 3-or-more-body decay, p is the largest momentum any of the products can have in this frame. [a] Theoretical value. A mass as large as a few MeV may not be precluded. [b] l indicates each type of lepton (e, µ, andτ), not sum over them. [c]this represents the width for the decay of the W boson into a charged particle with momentum below detectability, p< 200 MeV. [d] The Z-boson mass listed here corresponds to a Breit-Wigner resonance parameter. It lies approximately 34 MeV above the real part of the position of the pole (in the energy-squared plane) in the Z-boson propagator.

NOTES [a] The ratios m u /m d and m s /m d are extracted from pion and kaon masses using chiral symmetry. The estimates of u and d masses are not without controversy and remain under active investigation. Within the literature there are even suggestions that the u quark could be essentially massless. The s-quark mass is estimated from SU(3) splittings in hadron masses. [b] Based on published top mass measurements using data from Tevatron Run-I and Run-II. Including also the most recent unpublished results from Run-II, the Tevatron Electroweak Working Group reports a top mass of ± 0.8 ± 1.1 GeV.
