Collider Constraints on $Z^\prime$ Models for Neutral Current $B-$Anomalies

Abstract

We examine current collider constraints on some simple ZZ^\prime models that fit neutral current BB-anomalies, including constraints coming from measurements of Standard Model (SM) signatures at the LHC. The `MDM' simplified model is not constrained by the SM measurements but {\em is} strongly constrained by a 139 fb1^{-1} 13 TeV ATLAS di-muon search. Constraints upon the `MUM' simplified model are much weaker. A combination of the current BsB_s mixing constraint and ATLAS' ZZ^\prime search implies MZ>1.2M_{Z^\prime}>1.2 TeV in the Third Family Hypercharge Model example case. LHC SM measurements rule out a portion of the parameter space of the model for MZ<1.5M_{Z^\prime}<1.5 TeV.
