Decays of a Leptophobic Gauge Boson

We discuss the theory and phenomenology of decays of a leptophobic $U(1)_\X$ gauge boson $X$, such as has been proposed to explain the alleged deviations of $R_b$ and $R_c$ from standard model predictions. If the scalars involved in the breaking of the $SU(2)\times U(1)$ symmetry are sufficiently light, $X$ will sometimes decay into a charged (or neutral) scalar along with an oppositely-charged $W$ (or $Z$). These decay modes could yield clean signals for the leptophobic gauge bosons at hadron colliders and provide an interesting window into the Higgs sector of the theory.
