Extra neutral gauge bosons (Z') are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). In the minimal anomaly-free Z' model (AFZ'), the phenomenology is controlled by only three parameters beyond the SM ones, the Z' mass and two…
Extra neutral gauge bosons are a feature of many models of physics beyond the standard model (BSM) and their discovery could possibly be the first evidence for new physics. In this Snowmass white paper we compare the discovery reach of the…
Measurements of fiducial integrated and differential cross sections for inclusive $W^+$, $W^-$ and $Z$ boson production are reported. They are based on $25.0 \pm 0.5$ pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV collected with…

Most models of new physics contain extended Higgs sectors with multiple Higgs bosons. The observation of an additional Higgs boson, besides the $\sim 125$ GeV `$h_{\rm obs}$', will thus serve as an irrefutable evidence of physics beyond the…
