Abstract

We analyse the possibilities to detect a new ZZ^{\prime} boson in di-electron events at Tevatron and LHC in the framework of the 331 model with right-handed neutrinos. Using ppˉp\bar{p} collision data collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab Tevatron, we find that the 331 ZZ^{\prime} boson is excluded with masses below 920 GeV. For an integrated luminosity of 100fb1100 fb^{-1} at LHC, and considering a central value MZ=1500M_{Z^{\prime}}=1500 GeV, we obtain the invariant mass distribution in the process ppZe+epp\to Z^{\prime}\to e^{+}e^{-}, where a huge peak, corresponding to 800 signal events, is found above the SM background. The number of di-electron events vary from 10000 to 1 in the mass range of MZ=10005000M_{Z^{\prime}}=1000-5000 GeV.
