Discovery and Identification of Extra Gauge Bosons
نویسنده
چکیده
The discovery potential and diagnostic abilities of proposed future colliders for new heavy neutral (Z ) and charged (W ) gauge bosons are summarized. Typical bounds achievable on MZ′,W ′ at the TEVATRON, DITEVATRON, LHC, 500 GeV NLC, and 1 TeV NLC are ∼1 TeV, ∼2 TeV, ∼4 TeV, 1–3 TeV, and 2–6 TeV, respectively. For MZ′ ∼1 TeV the LHC will have the capability to determine the magnitude of normalized Z ′ quark and lepton couplings to around 10−20%, while the NLC would allow for determination of the couplings (including their signs) with a factor of 2 larger error-bars, provided heavy flavor tagging and longitudinal polarization of the electron beam is available.

Searches for New Physics
Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles, large extra dimensions, new gauge bosons, dynamical symmetry breaking, muon g 2, rare decays and lepton flavor violation. The discover...
متن کاملA Screening Mechanism for Extra W and Z Gauge Bosons
We generalize a previous construction of a fermiophobic model to the case of more than one extra W and Z gauge bosons. We focus in particular on the existence of screening configurations and their implication on the gauge boson mass spectrum. One of these configurations allows for the existence of a set of relatively light new gauge bosons, without violation of the quite restrictive bounds comi...
متن کاملSearch for Extra Gauge Bosons in Little Higgs Models at a Linear Collider
A generic feature of little Higgs models is presence of extra neutral gauge bosons. In the littlest Higgs model, the neutral extra gauge boson AH is lightest among the extra particles and could be as light as a few hundred GeV, which may be produced directly at an ee linear collider. We study production and decay of AH at the linear collider and compare them with those of Z bosons in supersymme...

متن کاملLooking For TeV-Scale Strings and Extra-Dimensions
In contrast to the old heterotic string case, the (weakly coupled) type I brane framework allows to have all, part or none of the standard model gauge group factors propagating in large extra–dimensions of TeV size. We investigate the main experimental signatures of these possibilities, related to the production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of gluons and electroweak gauge bosons. A discovery thr...
