Description

We show that a Z' with suppressed couplings to the electron compared to the Z-boson, with couplings to the b-quark, and with a mass close to the mass of the Z-boson, provides an excellent fit to forward-backward asymmetry of the b-quark and R_b measured on the Z-pole and $\pm 2$ GeV off the Z-pole, and to A_e obtained from the measurement of left-right asymmetry for hadronic final states.
