Abstract

A search was made in 29 GeV e⁺e^- annihilations for heavy, neutral leptons decaying to e^±X^∓(ν), where X is a muon or charged meson. Six events with isolated e^±X^∓ pairs were found for an intergrated luminosity of 106 pb^-1. The expected background is 5.5 ± 2.2 events. Limits on σ s ̇B depend on mass and range from 8 to 20 × 10^-5 nb.
