The addition of a heavy charged vector gauge boson ${\mathbf{W}}^\prime$ to the Standard Model (SM) with negligible quark couplings ("quarkophobic") and triple gauge couplings can address issues with the SM, such as the B-meson anomalies…
Theoretical and phenomenological arguments are in favor of an elusive new neutral vector boson Z' with a relatively low mass, chiral couplings to ordinary quarks and whose couplings to ordinary leptons are suppressed (leptophobia). We point…
We propose a search strategy at the HL-LHC for a new neutral particle $X$ that couples to $W$-bosons, using the process $p p \rightarrow W^{\pm} X (\rightarrow W^{+} W^{-})$ with a tri-$W$-boson final state. Focusing on events with two…

New massive resonances are predicted in many extensions to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and constitutes one of the most promising searches for new physics at the LHC. We present a feasibility study to search for new heavy…
Results are presented from a search for a W' boson using a dataset corresponding to 5.0 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected during 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The W' boson is…
An approach to the model-independent searching for the Z' gauge boson as a virtual state in scattering processes is developed. It accounts for as a basic requirement the renormalizability of underlying unspecified in other respects model.…
We study in a model-independent way new neutral and charged vector bosons that could give observable signals with leptonic final states at the LHC. We show, in particular, that a charged vector W' decaying into lepton plus neutrino is…
W' gauge bosons are good candidates for early LHC discovery. We define two reference models, one containing a W'_R and one containing a W'_L, which may serve as ``simplified models'' for presenting experimental results of W' searches at the…
This thesis presents a search for a new, hypothetical particle predicted by theories extending the Standard Model of particle physics. This heavy $W'$ boson interacts only with the heaviest known quarks, top and bottom (heavy-philic). Such…
The heavy charged gauge bosons were proposed in the theories beyond standard model. We explore the discovery potential for $W'\to t\bar{b}$ with top quark semi-leptonic decay at the LHC. We concentrate on the new physics signal search with…
New physics models predict the possibility of extra neutral gauge bosons ($Z'$) associated with an extra $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry. We study the couplings of the Higgs boson to the $Z$ boson and $Z'$ boson predicted by the new physics models.…
New gauge bosons with Standard Model-like couplings to leptons are constrained by collider searches to be heavier than approximately ~1 TeV. A Z' boson with suppressed couplings to leptons, however, could be much lighter and possess…
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 $Z'$…
Quark partners with non-chiral couplings appear in several extensions of the Standard Model. They may have non-trivial generational structure to their couplings, and may be produced either in pairs via the strong and EM interactions, or…
We propose novel collider searches which can significantly improve the LHC reach to new gauge bosons $Z'$ with mixed anomalies with the electroweak (EW) gauge group. Such a $Z'$ necessarily acquires a Chern-Simons coupling to the EW gauge…
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…
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…
In this paper we study the possible searches at colliders using Vector Boson Fusion topology in the context of Simplified Models signatures. We examine the possible physics reach of these searches with regard to monojet-type searches, and…
