Search for an invisibly decaying Higgs boson in e+ee^{+} e^{-} collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 183-189 GeV

A search for a Higgs boson decaying into invisible particles is performed using the datacollected at LEP by the L3 experiment at centre-of-mass energies of183\gev{} and 189\gev{}. The integrated luminosities are respectively 55.3~\pb{} and 176.4~\pb{}.The observed candidates are consistent with the expectations from StandardModel processes.In the hypothesis that the production cross section of this Higgs bosonequals the Standard Model one and the branching ratio into invisibleparticles is 100%100\%, a lower masslimit of 89.2\gev{} is set at 95%95\% confidence level.
