We study top-antitop pair production and top spin correlations in a model with an electrically neutral massive gauge boson, Z', at the Large Hadron Collider. In addition to the Standard Model processes, the Z' contributes to the top-antitop…
The discovery of a Z' and the measurement of Z' couplings to fermions are main tasks of future colliders. Here, the possibilities to measure Z' f \bar f couplings at an NLC operating below a Z' resonance are studied. In dependence on the…
We present a detailed comparison of the fixed-order predictions computed by four publicly available computer codes for Drell-Yan processes at the LHC and Tevatron colliders. We point out that while there is agreement among the predictions…
We study the collider phenomenology of the $B$-$L$ extension of the Standard Model (BLSM), focusing on the production and decay of a heavy neutral gauge boson (\( Z' \)) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this framework, the \( Z' \)…
In TeV scale gravity models, for dilepton production at hadron colliders, we present the NLO-QCD corrections for the double differential cross section in the invariant mass and scattering angle. For both ADD and RS models, the quantitative…
A recent analysis has shown that it may be possible at the SSC to extract information about $Z'$ couplings via the decay $Z' \to jj$. This technique was found to be useful for some extended electroweak models provided the $Z'$ is relatively…
We investigate Drell-Yan pair production in a QCD inspired model, which takes into account all relevant hard processes up to $O(\alpha_s)$. To address the known shortfalls of such a fixed order calculation we introduce phenomenological…

Drell-Yan W/Z electroweak boson production at the LHC is an essential standard candle which is used for calibration of beam luminosity and detector properties. In addition to proton-proton collisions, the LHC has measured heavy nuclei…
We propose a LHC search for dilepton resonances in association with large missing energy as a generic probe of TeV dark sector models. Such resonances can occur if the dark sector includes a U(1) gauge boson, or Z', which kinetically mixes…
We examine the production of a new $Z'$ gauge boson in association with photons or jets at future hadron supercolliders as a probe of its couplings to fermions. Associated jet production is found to be rather insensitive to these couplings…
We suggest to isolate the loop-induced gluon-initiated component ($gg\to ZH$) for associated $ZH$ production by using the similarity of the Drell-Yan-like component for $ZH$ production to the $WH$ process. We argue that the cross-section…
