We consider the possibility that one extra $Z\equiv Z'$ exists with a mass of more then two TeV and fermion couplings that do not violate (charged) lepton universality. We show that, in such a situation, a functional relationship is…
We consider the effects of a number of models with one extra $Z$, with enhanced couplings to quarks, in the final \underline{hadronic} channels at LEP2. We show that, for a number of representative cases, visible effects could be produced…
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…
In terms of an effective lagrangian, we examine the effect of new physics associated with third-generation fermions on b b-bar production at the Z resonance and study its implications for LEP2. We obtain the constraints on such operators…
We point out that at future hadron colliders the ratio of cross sections for $pp\to Z'\to \ell^+\ell^-$ in two rapidity bins is a useful probe of the relative couplings of the $Z'$ to $u$ and $d$ quarks. Combined with the forward-backward…
The paper deals with an approach to the model-independent searching for the Z' gauge boson as a virtual state in scattering processes. The relations between the Z' couplings to fermions covering a wide class of models beyond the standard…
Preliminary results of measurements of fermion-pair production at LEP2 are used to derive limits on new physics phenomena. Combinations of the cross sections and asymmetrie of the 4 LEP collaborations are interpreted in terms four-fermion…
The study of lepton pair production is a powerful test of the Standard Model (SM) and can be used to search for phenomena beyond the SM. New heavy neutral bosons $Z'$ decaying to charged lepton pairs $l^+l^-$ ($l=e, \mu$) are predicted by…
In this talk I summarize the capability of future lepton colliders to indirectly discover a new $Z'$ and to determine its couplings to the fermions of the Standard Model. The physics associated with sitting on the $Z'$-pole is also briefly…
The many-parametric fit of the LEP2 data on e^+e^-\to e^+e^-, \mu^+\mu^-, \tau^+\tau^- processes is performed to estimate signals of the Abelian Z'-boson beyond the standard model. The model-independent relations between the Z' couplings to…
The phenomenology of an additional U(1) neutral gauge boson Z' coupled to the third family of fermions is discussed. One might expect such a particle to contribute to processes where taus, b and t quarks are produced. Precision data from…
In order to explain possible departures from the Standard Model predictions for $b\bar b$ and $c\bar c$ production at $Z$ peak, we propose the existence of a $Z'$ vector boson with enhanced couplings to quarks. We first show that this…
All couplings of a new heavy gauge boson to ordinary fermions can be determined in a model-independent way at a large $e^+e^-$ collider for large enough statistics. No such determination is possible at LEP 200, however, because its design…
If a new $Z'$ is discovered with a mass $\sim 1 \ TeV$ at LHC/SSC, its (rare) decays into two charged leptons plus missing transverse energy will probe the $Z'$ coupling to the lepton doublet $(\nu,e)_L$ and to $W^+W^-$, allowing further…
We study the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in $e^-e^-$ scattering. We use the most general couplings to the known fermions which are dimensionless, baryon and lepton number conserving, and $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes…
Discovery potentials for extra neutral interactions at the Large Hadron Collider in forthcoming experiments are analyzed using resonant leptoproduction. For this purpose we use high precision next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO)…
We define a new class of $Z'$ models with neutral flavor-changing interactions at tree level in the down-quark sector. They are related in an exact way to elements of the quark mixing matrix due to an underlying flavored $U(1)'$ gauge…
We construct a supersymmetric model based on $T'\otimes Z_3\otimes Z_9$ flavor symmetry. At the leading order, the charged lepton mass matrix is not diagonal, $T'$ is broken completely, and the hierarchy in the charged lepton masses is…
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…
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.…
