Do I feel silly. Of *course* I remember what the Z0-particle is. It is the neutral "sister" particle to the charged W-particles W+ and W-, all three of which are intermediate vector bosons, the "carriers" of the weak nuclear force. The apparent discovery of the Z0 (W+ and W- were apparently discovered earlier this year, also at CERN) caps the theory which unifies the weak force with the electromagnetic force. I think they said the mass of the Z0 is equivalent to about 85 GeV. I cannot wait to see their paper. Roger Noe ...ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe
