$M_W$ helps select $Z^\prime$ models for $b \rightarrow s \ell \ell$ anomalies
Abstract
As shown in Ref. \cite{Allanach:2021kzj}, the Third Family Hypercharge () Model changes the Standard Model prediction for whilst simultaneously explaining anomalies in transitions via a heavy gauge boson which is spawned by a spontaneously broken gauged symmetry. The 2022 CDF II measurement of , which is far from the Standard Model prediction, somewhat disfavours the model. Here, we generalise the gauge charge assignments to the anomaly-free combination and show that incorporating the 2022 CDF II measurement of selects a viable domain of integers and . For example, yields a value of .12 in a two-parameter global fit to 277 electroweak and flavour changing data, much improving a SM value of .
