Abstract

The excess events reported by the ATLAS Collaboration in the WZWZ-final state, and by the CMS Collaboration in the e+ ⁣ejje^+\!e^- jj, WhWh and jjjj-final states, may be induced by the decays of a heavy boson WW' in the 1.8-2 TeV mass range, here modelled via the larger local group SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)BLSU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L} in a non-linear dynamical Higgs scenario. The WW'-production cross section at the 13 TeV LHC is around 700-1200 fb. This framework also predicts a heavy ZZ' boson with a mass of 2.5-4 TeV, and some decay channels testable in the LHC Run II. We determine the cross section times branching fractions for the dijet, dilepton and top-pair ZZ'-decay channels at the 13 TeV LHC around 2.3, 7.1, 70.2 fb respectively, for MZ=2.5M_{Z'}= 2.5 TeV, while one/two orders of magnitude smaller for the dijet/dilepton and top-pair modes at MZ=4M_{Z'}= 4 TeV. Non-zero contributions from the effective operators, and the underlying Higgs sector of the model, will induce sizeable enhancement in the W+WW^+W^- and ZhZ h-final states that could be probed in the future LHC Run II.
