Abstract

We examine effects of ZZ' bosons in gauge-Higgs unification (GHU) models at e+ee+e\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-}\to \mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-} Bhabha scatterings. We evaluate differential cross sections in Bhabha scatterings including ZZ' bosons in two types of SO(5)×U(1)×SU(3)\mathrm{SO}(5) \times \mathrm{U}(1) \times \mathrm{SU}(3) GHU models. We find that deviations of differential cross sections in the GHU models from those in the SM can be seen at s=250GeV\sqrt{s} = 250\,\mathrm{GeV}. With 80%80\%-longitudinally polarized electron and 30%30\%-longitudinally polarized positron beams, the left-right asymmetries in the GHU A- and B-models are resolved at more than 3σ3\,\sigma at Lint=250fb1L_{\rm int} =250\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}. We also show that Bhabha scattering with scattering angle less than 100 mrad can be safely used as luminosity measurements in e+e\mathrm{e}^{+}\mathrm{e}^{-} colliders since the effects of ZZ' bosons are well suppressed for small scattering angle. We propose a new observable which can be measured at future TeV-scale e+e\mathrm{e}^{+} \mathrm{e}^{-} linear colliders.
