Abstract

We have studied the reactions e⁺e^- → e⁺e^-, e⁺e^- → γγ, e⁺e^- → μ⁺μ^-, and e⁺e^- → τ⁺τ^- in the centre-of-mass (CM) energy range from 39.8 to 45.2 GeV using the CELLO detector at PETRA. Upper limits on the partial widths for new spin 0 bosons with masses both within and above the energy range covered are determined. No evidence for contributions of such new particles has been observed up to the highest PETRA energies in a model independent way. Under the assumptions of recently suggested models relating the existence of spin 0 bosons to the radiative width Γ_τ of the Z⁰ we exclude such bosons at the 95% confidence level for masses below the Z⁰-mass if Γ_τ > 20 MeV.
