We discuss the prospects for setting limits on or discovering spin-1 $Z'$ bosons using early LHC data at 7 TeV. Our results are based on the narrow width approximation in which the leptonic Drell-Yan $Z'$ boson production cross-section only…
We explore the potential of probing for a new neutral gauge boson that emerges from a topologically nontrivial structure of spacetime, focusing on its couplings to the fermions of the Standard Model. We analyze the current experimental…
A new leptophobic neutral gauge boson Z' with small mixing to the Z can have a mass as light as M_Z' ~ 350 GeV, and still have escaped detection at LEP and Tevatron. Such a Z' boson can be derived from E6 and, if the new heavy neutrino…
We extend the Standard Model gauge group by $U(1)_{L_e-L_\mu}$ and introduce two scalars, a doublet and a singlet, that are charged under this new group and have lepton flavour violating couplings. Since in this model $\mu \to e$ processes…
Searching for heavy neutral gauge bosons Z', predicted in extensions of the Standard Model based on a U(1)' gauge symmetry, is one of the challenging objectives of the experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider. In this paper, we…
We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson in data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45/fb. In events consistent with the…
After the CDF II results, we can ask ourselves, have they observed the vector boson $W$ of the standard model? or have they discovered the effect of new physics? We show that, in electroweak models with $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R\otimes…
We discuss the theory and phenomenology of decays of a leptophobic $U(1)_\X$ gauge boson $X$, such as has been proposed to explain the alleged deviations of $R_b$ and $R_c$ from standard model predictions. If the scalars involved in the…
Various new physics models predict a light CP-odd Higgs boson (labeled as $a$) and open up new decay modes for Z-boson, such as $Z \to \bar{f} f a$, $Z\to a\gamma$ and $Z\to aaa$, which could be explored at the GigaZ option of the ILC. In…
By extending the standard gauge group to $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$ with $X$ charges carried only by the third family we accommodate the LEP measurement of $R_b$ and predict a potentially measurable discrepancy in…
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…
A search is presented for a heavy vector resonance decaying into a Z boson and the standard model Higgs boson, where the Z boson is identified through its leptonic decays to electrons, muons, or neutrinos, and the Higgs boson is identified…
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 examine direct limits on masses of the extra neutral gauge bosons in the SU(4)_L \times U(1)_X model with a little Higgs mechanism confronted with the LHC data, especially by embedding anomaly-free set of fermions. There exist two extra…
The ununified standard model is an extension of the standard model that contains separate electroweak gauge groups for quarks and leptons. When it was originally proposed, data allowed the new gauge bosons to be quite light. We use recent…
The first search for a heavy charged vector boson in the final state with a tau lepton and a neutrino is reported, using 19.7 inverse femtobarns of LHC data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. A signal would appear as an excess of events in kinematic…
The Z line shape is measured at LEP with an accuracy at the per mille level. Usually it is described in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions with account of quantum corrections. Alternatively, one may attempt different…
I study the phenomenology of heavy neutral bosons Z', predicted in GUT-inspired U(1)' models, at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, I investigate possible signatures due to Z' decays into superymmetric particles, such as chargino,…
The extension of the Standard Model by a spontaneously broken abelian gauge group based on the L(mu)-L(tau) lepton number can resolve the longstanding discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values for the magnetic moment of the…
A lepton-flavor violating (LFV) Z' boson may mimic some of the phenomena usually attributed to supersymmetric theories. Using a conservative model of LFV Z' bosons, the recent BNL E821 muon g-2 deviation allows for a LFV Z' interpretation…
