Abstract: The difference between baryon number B and lepton number L is the only anomaly-free global symmetry of the Standard Model, easily promoted to a local symmetry by introducing three right-handed neutrinos, which automatically make neutrinos massive. The non-observation of any (B-L)-violating processes leads us to scrutinize the case of unbroken gauged B-L; besides Dirac neutrinos, the model contains only three parameters, the gauge coupling strength g', the Stueckelberg mass $M_{Z^{\prime }}$, and the kinetic mixing angle $chi$. The new force could manifest itself at any scale, and we collect and derive bounds on g' over the entire testable range $M_{Z^{\prime }}$ = 0 - $10^{13}$ eV, also of interest for the more popular case of spontaneously broken B-L or other new light forces. We show in particular that successful Big Bang nucleosynthesis provides strong bounds for masses 10 eV < $M_{Z^{\prime }}$ < 10 GeV due to resonant enhancement of the rate $$. The strongest limits typically arise from astrophysics and colliders, probing scales $M_{Z^{\prime }}/g^{\prime }$ from TeV up to $10^{10}$ GeV.
