Constraints on leptophobic Z' models from electroweak experiments

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We study the constraints from updated electroweak data on the three leptophobic Z' models, the η{\eta} model with an appropriate U(1)U(1)YU(1)'-U(1)_Y kinetic mixing, a Z' model motivated by the flipped SU(5) \times U(1) unification, and the phenomenological Z' model of Agashe, Graesser, and Hinchliffe. The ZZZ-Z' mixing effects are parametrized in terms of a positive contribution to the TT parameter, TnewT_{new}, and the effective mass mixing parameter, ξˉ\bar{\xi}. All the theoretical predictions for the ZZ boson parameters, the WW boson mass and the observables in low-energy neutral current experiments are presented together with the standard model radiative corrections. The allowed region in the (ξˉ,Tnew\bar{\xi},T_{new}) plane is shown for the three models. The 95% CL lower limit on the heavier mass eigenstate Z2Z_2 is given as a function of the effective ZZZ-Z' mixing parameter ζ\zeta.
