Distinguishing Z' models with polarised top pairs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-11-26 v1

Abstract

We study the sensitivity of top pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the nature of an underlying Z' boson, including full tree level standard model background effects and interferences. We demonstrate that exploiting combinations of asymmetry observables will enable one to distinguish between a selection of `benchmark' Z' models while assuming realistic final state reconstruction efficiencies and error estimates.
