We derive model-independent constraints on Higgs mass and couplings from associated signals for higher masses, accessible at LEP2. This work is motivated by the fact that, in many extensions of the standard model, the Higgs boson can have…
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…

The model-independent constraints on the Abelian Z' couplings from the LEP data are applied to estimate the Z' production in experiments at the Tevatron and LHC. The Z' total and partial decay widths are analyzed. The results are compared…
We study how the recent experimental results constrain the gauge sectors of U(1) extensions of the standard model using a novel representation of the parameter space. We determine the bounds on the mixing angle between the massive gauge…
We explore quark interactions mediated by new gauge bosons of masses in the 0.3 - 50 GeV range. A tight upper limit on the gauge coupling of light Z' bosons is imposed by the anomaly cancellation conditions in conjunction with collider…
We analyze various models with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry in addition to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group at low energies, and impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in all such models, and on the Z-Z'…

Indirect precision data are used to constrain the masses of possible extra Z^prime bosons and their mixings with the ordinary Z. We study a variety of Z^prime bosons as they appear in E_6 and left-right unification models, the sequential Z…
We perform the comprehensive analysis of the polarization effects on the e^+e^- -> W^+W^- process in the presence of the extra neutral gauge boson at the LC energies. Consideration of the polarizations of the produced W bosons and the beam…
We show that the availability of longitudinally polarized electron beams at a 500 GeV Linear Collider would allow, from an analysis of the reaction e^+e^-\to W^+W^-, to set stringent bounds on the couplings of a Z' of the most general type.…
The Abelian $Z'$ boson decay width is calculated in a model-independent approach. The analysis takes into consideration the special relations between the $Z'$ couplings to the Standard model fields proper to the renormalizable theories. The…
We obtain mass limits on the extra neutral gauge boson which is predicted in a model with hidden gauge symmetry and dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry by a top quark condensate. For typical model assumptions, present LEP data…
Model-independent search for the Abelian $Z'$ gauge boson virtual state based on the new observable in the processes $e^+ e^- \to l^+ l^-$ is analyzed for the LEP data. The observable is introduced by using following from renormalizability…
A search is performed in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV for exotic particles decaying via WZ to fully leptonic final states with electrons, muons, and neutrinos. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.5…
An Effective Lagrangian description is useful for describing potential physics beyond the Standard Model. The method is illustrated by reference to interactions among the electroweak bosons ($W^\pm$ \& $Z^0$). The resulting estimates of the…

We point out that in a large class of superstring--inspired $E(6)$ models, either an e+e- collider operating at a center--of--mass energy $\rs= 1.5$ TeV or higher must detect the pair production of charged or neutral exotic leptons, or an…
We study the potential of a future $e^+e^-$ collider for the search of anomalous gamma t t bar and Z t t bar couplings, assuming that CP-invariance holds. This is done in a model-independent way, considering that all six possible couplings…
We present recent developments in the diagnostic study of heavy gauge bosons at future $pp$ (CERN LHC) and $e^+e^-$ (NLC) colliders with the emphasis on the model independent determination of gauge couplings of $Z'$ to quarks and leptons.…
