We study the phenomenology of leptophilic $Z'$ gauge bosons at the future high-energy $e^+e^-$ and $\mu^+\mu^-$ colliders, as well as at the gravitational wave observatories. The leptophilic $Z'$ model, although well-motivated, remains…
We consider the possibility that one extra $Z\equiv Z'$ exists with a mass of more then two TeV and fermion couplings that do not violate (charged) lepton universality. We show that, in such a situation, a functional relationship is…
Extensions of the Standard Model that contain leptophobic Z' gauge bosons are theoretically interesting but difficult to probe directly in high-energy hadron colliders. However, precision measurements of Standard Model neutral current…
