We present the result of searches for a low mass Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a $W$ or a $Z$ boson at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.…
Massive leptophobic Z' bosons decaying to a pair of charginos are searched for in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, using data samples collected by the CMS experiment in 2016, 2017, and 2018, corresponding to a total…
We study theoretical and experimental constraints on electroweak theories including a new color-singlet and electrically-neutral gauge boson. We first note that the electric charges of the observed fermions imply that any such Z' boson may…

We investigate the effects of extra neutral gauge bosons on the high $Q^2$ region of the $e^+p \to e^+ X$ cross section at $\sqrt{s}=300$ GeV. We found that the only models with electroweak strength coupling, typical of extended gauge…

A spin-1 weakly interacting vector boson, Z', is predicted by many new physics theories. Searches at colliders for such a Z' resonance typically focus on lepton-antilepton or top-antitop events. Here we present a novel channel with a Z'…
A model of a light $Z'$ boson is constructed and phenomenological bounds are derived. This $Z'$ boson arises from a very simple extension to the Standard Model, and it is constrained to be light because the vacuum expectation values which…
A very light (GeV scale) dark gauge boson ($Z'$) is a recently highlighted hypothetical particle that can address some astrophysical anomalies as well as the $3.6 \sigma$ deviation in the muon $g$-2 measurement. We suggest top quark decays…
We study and compare the discovery potential for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z') at the various hadron colliders under discussion at Snowmass 2001 which range in sqrt{s} from 14 TeV for the LHC to 200 TeV for a variant of the VLHC. Typical…
Extra neutral gauge bosons arise in many extensions of the Standard Model. If one were to be discovered it would be necessary to measure its properties so that we could understand its origins. In this report we find that Z' couplings can be…
We search for a new gauge boson $Z'$ that couples only to heavy leptons and their corresponding neutrinos in the process $e^{+} e^{-} \rightarrow Z'(\rightarrow \mu^{+}\mu^{-}) \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, using a 643 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected by…
We present a fit to precision electroweak data in the standard model extended by an additional vector boson, Z', with suppressed couplings to the electron compared to the Z boson, with couplings to the b-quark, and with mass close to the…
New neutral heavy gauge bosons ($Z^\prime$) are predicted within many extensions of the Standard Model. While in case they couple to quarks the LHC bounds are very stringent, leptophilic $Z^\prime$ bosons (even with sizable couplings) can…

We study the collider phenomenology of the leptophobic $Z'$ boson from an extra $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry in models with $N$-Higgs doublet fields. We assume that the $Z'$ boson at tree level has (i) no $Z$-$Z'$ mixing, (ii) no interaction with…

Based on the expectation generated by the discovery of new particles by current colliders, we analyze the decay of the Z' boson in the frame of one of the SU(3)L \otimes U(1)N electroweak extensions of the standard model. The main objective…
We discuss three promising diagnostic probes of the couplings of a possible heavy $Z'$ boson at hadron colliders: the forward-backward asymmetry into leptons, the rare decay $Z' \ra W^{\pm} \ell^{\mp} \nu$, and associated production $pp \ra…
