We consider the extension of the standard model with an arbitrary number of U(1) gauge fields coupled to baryon-minus-lepton number and/or hypercharge. Under the assumption that A^b_FB from the LEP1 experiment is an unlucky fluctuation, we…
We study hypothetical gauge bosons that may produce dijet resonances at the LHC. Simple renormalizable models include leptophobic Z' bosons or colorons that have flavor-independent couplings and decay into a color-singlet or -octet…
A review of the current experimental results on searches for Higgs bosons in models beyond the Standard Model is presented. Searches from ATLAS, CMS and LHCb use datasets from Run 1 of the LHC, including 7 and 8 TeV proton-proton…
We consider `minimal' Z' models, whose phenomenology is controlled by only three parameters beyond the Standard Model ones: the Z' mass and two effective coupling constants. They encompass many popular models motivated by grand unification,…
Preliminary results obtained by the CDF and D0 Collaborations on the Standard Model Higgs searches at the Tevatron Run II are discussed. The data that correspond to an integrated luminosity of > 150/pb are compared to theoretical…
A new exclusion limit for the electromagnetic production of a light U(1) gauge boson {\gamma}' decaying to e^+e^- was determined by the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron. Such light gauge bosons appear in several extensions of the…
Using data from 2.9/fb of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, we search for resonances decaying into a pair of on-shell gauge bosons, WW or WZ, where one W decays into an electron and a neutrino, and…
The grand unified group $E_6$~is a predictive scheme for physics beyond the standard model (SM). It offers the possibility of extra $Z$ bosons, new vector-like fermions, sterile neutrinos, and neutral scalars in addition to the SM Higgs…
We adopt a bottom-up approach to constructing a new physics model to explain the CDF excess seen in dijets with an associated lepton and missing transverse energy. We find that the 145 GeV broad feature seen by CDF in the dijet invariant…
We study $Z'$ phenomenology at hadron colliders in an $U(1)'$ extended MSSM. We choose a $U(1)'$ model with a secluded sector, where the tension between the electroweak scale and developing a large enough mass for $Z'$ is resolved by…
New physics models admit the interesting possibility of a Z' weak boson associated with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry and a Higgs boson that is heavy enough to decay into a pair of Z bosons. Then Z' production and decay via Z' -> ZH -> ZZZ…
The phenomenological study of neutral heavy gauge boson ($Z^{\prime}_{B-L}$) of the minimal B-L extension was done on the dimuon production channel of the LHC. The study begins with the LEP-II constraints on $Z'$ searches, and the dimuon…
The interference effects between an extra neutral spin-1 Z'-boson and the Standard Model background in the Drell-Yan channel at the LHC are studied in detail. The final state with two oppositely charged leptons is considered. The…
The CDF and D{\O} experiments at the Tevatron are currently the only capable of searching for the Standard Model Higgs boson. This article describes their most sensitive searches in the expected Higgs mass range, focusing on advanced…
Many new physics models predict the existence of extra neutral gauge bosons ($Z'$). Inspired by the recent development on Higgs search, we study the properties of $Z'$ via the Higgs and $Z$ boson associated production. The couplings of $Z'$…
We bound the coupling of pseudo-scalar particles to Tr G^G_{QCD} using (the lack of) monojet plus missing E_T events at the Tevatron, and estimate the bounds obtainable from LHC. In addition, we revisit the bounds on the coupling to…
I study the production of heavy neutral gauge bosons Z' at the LHC in U(1)' models, inspired by Grand Unification Theories, as well as in the Sequential Standard Model, accounting for possible decays into supersymmetric channels. I shall…
The existing limits on Z' gauge bosons and prospects for discovery and diagnostic studies at the LHC are briefly reviewed.
We test $E_6$ realisations of a generic $U(1)'$ extended Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (UMSSM), parametrised in terms of the mixing angle pertaining to the new $U(1)'$ sector, $\theta_{E_6}$, against all currently available data,…
The model-independent constraints on the Abelian Z' couplings from the LEP data are applied to estimate the Z' production in experiments at the Tevatron and LHC. The Z' total and partial decay widths are analyzed. The results are compared…
