Abstract

We propose a scheme of searches for the Abelian ZZ' gauge boson in the Drell-Yan process at S=1.96\sqrt{S}=1.96 TeV. We base our considerations on renor\-ma\-li\-za\-tion-group relations between the ZZ' couplings to standard-model fermions. Considering the range of energies near the ZZ-boson peak, namely 6611666-116 GeV for the invariant mass of a leptonic pair, we propose an integration scheme to construct two-parametric observables suitable for ZZ' searches in the ppˉl+lp\bar{p} \to l^+ l^- scattering. The observables allow to constrain the ZZ' vector and axial-vector couplings to SM fermions in a general phenomenological parameterization with non-universal ZZ' interactions with fermion generations. We also consider the cases of generation-universal ZZ' boson and leptophobic ZZ' boson, and show that one-parametric observables exist for these scenarios. The research is aimed to supplement direct searches for ZZ' as an on-shell state in a specific set of new-physics models.
