In this work, we use publicly available data from ATLAS collaboration collected at LHC run 2 at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$TeV with an integrated luminosity of $139 fb^{-1}$ to derive lower mass limits on the $Z^\prime$ gauge…
Searching for Z' bosons, predicted in GUT-inspired U(1)' gauge models and in the Sequential Standard Model, is one of the main challenges of the experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider. Such searches have so far focused on…
We investigate multilepton signatures, arising from the decays of doubly charged and singly charged Higgs bosons in the Type-II Seesaw model. Depending on the vacuum expectation value of the triplet $v_{\Delta}$, the doubly and singly…

New Neutral Gauge Bosons, Z' 's, are predicted by many models of physics beyond the Standard Electroweak Theory. It is possible that a Z' would be discovered early in the Large Hadron Collider program. The next step would be to measure its…
A recent study [1] has shown that a simplified model predicting a heavy scalar of mass 270 GeV ($H$) that decays to a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson in association with a scalar singlet of mass 150 GeV ($S$) can accommodate several…
