Z⁰-Z^0' and ordinary-exotic fermion mixings revisited using some special observables

We investigate the mixing of an extra Z^0' with the standard Z⁰ and mixings of exotic fermions with their standard counterparts through some precisely measured electroweak observables. These observables are geared to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. We observe that although most of such mixings are severely constrained by the recent LEP data, some of the mixing angles could still be rather large, awaiting future tests
