Signatures for Heavy $\bf Z'$ Bosons at Hadron Colliders

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We discuss three promising diagnostic probes of the couplings of a possible heavy ZZ' boson at hadron colliders: the forward-backward asymmetry into leptons, the rare decay Z\raW±νZ' \ra W^{\pm} \ell^{\mp} \nu, and associated production pp\raZW,  ZZpp \ra Z'W,\; Z'Z. A general model-independent framework is proposed for interpreting these and other data. Clean tests of whether a new WW' couples to right-handed currents, of the ratio gR/gLg_R/g_L of gauge couplings, and of the non-abelian vertex in left-right symmetric models are described.
