In this paper we examine the constraints dedicated LHC multi lepton searches can place on $Z'$ bosons coming from gauged muon number minus tau number, $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$. As the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ gauge boson does not couple to proton…
Assuming the existence of a gauge boson $X$ which couples to $B - 3 L_\tau$, we discuss the present experimental constraints on $g_X$ and $m_X$ from $Z \to l^+ l^-$ and $Z \to \bar f f X~(f = q, \nu_\tau, \tau)$. We also discuss the…
We use the results of CMS and ATLAS searches for resonances that decay to $\tau\nu$ or $tb$ and $\tau^+\tau^-$ or $t\bar t$ final states to constrain the parameters of non-universal $W^\prime$ and $Z^\prime$ gauge bosons that couple…
In this work, we derive lower mass bounds on the Z' gauge boson based on the dilepton data from LHC with 13 TeV of center-of-mass energy, and forecast the sensitivity of the High-Luminosity-LHC with $L=3000 fb^{-1}$, the High-Energy LHC…
We explore the physics of a new neutral gauge boson, ($Z^\prime$), coupling to only third-generation particles with a mass near the electroweak gauge boson mass poles. A $Z^\prime$ boson produced by top quarks and decaying to tau leptons is…
We study the phenomenology of heavy gauge bosons at the LHC in a nonuniversal gauge interaction model with the separate electroweak SU(2) gauge group for the third generation. Considered are the Drell-Yan processes into the final states of…
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…
We consider a simple, yet generic scenario in which a new heavy $Z'$ gauge boson couples both to SM fermions and to dark matter. In this framework we confront the best LHC limits on an extra gauge boson $Z'$ to the constraints on couplings…
We investigate the $W$ boson's exotic decay channel, $W \rightarrow \ell\ell\ell \nu$, at the LHC. Although the four-body final states suppress the decay branching ratio, the large production of $W$ bosons makes detecting and precisely…
A perturbative new family of fermions is now severely constrained, though not excluded yet. We reconsider the current bounds (i.e., direct and from Higgs searches, R_b, oblique parameters) on the fourth generation parameter space assuming…
The large and growing library of measurements from the Large Hadron Collider has significant power to constrain extensions of the Standard Model. We consider such constraints on a well-motivated model involving a gauged and…
Top quark production offers the unique opportunity to search for a charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$), as the contribution from $t\to H^+b\to \tau^+\nu b$ can be large in extensions of the Standard Model. We use results from a search for top…
We studied the collider phenomenology of third-generation scalar leptoquarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with a 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. The analysis focuses on leptoquarks decaying exclusively into top quarks and tau leptons,…
The lepton-sepcific (or type X) 2HDM (L2HDM) is an attractive new physics candidate explaining the muon $g-2$ anomaly requiring a light CP-odd boson $A$ and large $\tan\beta$. This scenario leads to $\tau$-rich signatures, such as $3\tau$,…
We explore the potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in detecting a signal originating from the production of a heavy $SU(2)_R$ charged gauge boson that then decays into a top-bottom quark pair via the mediation of a right-handed…
Standard Model may allow an extended gauge sector with anomaly-free flavored gauge symmetries, such as $L_{i} - L_{j}$, $B_{i} - L_{j}$, and $B - 3L_{i}$, where $i,j=1,2,3$ are flavor indices. We investigate phenomenological implications of…
If next generations of heavy quarks and leptons exist within the standard model (SM), they can manifest themselves in Higgs boson production at the Tevatron and the LHC, before being actually observed. This generation leads to an increase…
In this study, we apply LHC data to constrain the extension of the Standard Model by an anomaly-free $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge group; this model contains a new gauge boson ($Z^\prime$) and a scalar dark matter particle ($\phi_{\rm DM}$).…
This paper presents a search for Higgs bosons decaying to four leptons, either electrons or muons, via one or two light exotic gauge bosons $Z_d$, $H\to Z Z_d \to 4\ell$ or $H\to Z_d Z_d \to 4\ell$. The search was performed using $pp$…
We study the phenomenology of light scalars of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ coupling to heavy flavour-violating vector bosons of mass $m_V$. For $m_{1,2}\lesssim $ few GeV, this scenario triggers the rare $B$ meson decays $B_s^0\to 3\mu^+…
