If extra gauge bosons are observed at the LHC or at a linear e+e- collider, the reaction e+e- --> nu nubar gamma can give information on the couplings (W' nu l) and (Z' nu nubar). The total cross section and polarization asymmetries are the…
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…
We discuss the potential of present e^+e^- colliders to probe for a heavy Z^' boson via its interference effects, in a model-independent framework. The leptonic channel is unambiguous, and thus favourable over the hadronic ones. The effect…
We explore the discovery potential of W' and Z' boson searches for various SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), after taking into account the constraints from low energy precision measurements and direct searches…
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 $Z'$…
New observables \sigma_\pm for the process e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^- allow one to get more direct information on additional Z' boson effects than what is obtained from the canonical ones, \sigma and A_{FB}. Their deviations from the Standard…

A broad class of supersymmetric extensions of the standard model predict a Z' vector boson whose mass is naturally in the range 250 GeV < M_Z' < 2 TeV. To avoid unacceptably large mixing with the Z, one requires either a discrete tuning of…
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…
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.…
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…
