Discovery and Identification of Extra Gauge Bosons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-03 v1

Abstract

The discovery potential and diagnostic abilities of proposed future colliders for new heavy neutral (ZZ') and charged (WW') gauge bosons are summarized. Typical bounds achievable on MZ,WM_{Z',W'} at the TEVATRON, DI-TEVATRON, LHC, 500 GeV NLC, and 1 TeV NLC are \sim1~TeV, \sim2~TeV, \sim4~TeV, 1--3~TeV, and 2--6~TeV, respectively. For MZM_{Z'} \sim1 TeV the LHC will have the capability to determine the magnitude of normalized ZZ' quark and lepton couplings to around 1020%10-20\%, while the NLC would allow for determination of the couplings (including their signs) with a factor of 2 larger error-bars, provided heavy flavor tagging and longitudinal polarization of the electron beam is available.
