We study the mass ratio of W and Z bosons in an SU(5) gauge-Higgs unification model with the left-right symmetry remaining locally for boundary conditions and with no scalar fields except for the extra-dimensional component of gauge bosons.…
We explore some more consequences of the $SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ electroweak model with right-handed neutrinos. By introducing the $Z - Z'$ mixing angle $\phi$, the {\it exact} physical eigenstates for neutral gauge bosons are obtained.…
New data on parity violation in atomic cesium can be explained by a new neutral vector boson almost unmixed with Z, with a mass in the TeV range and sizeable couplings to the fermions. The properties of such additional Z' can be…
It was recently shown that left-right symmetric models for elementary particles can be built with only two Higgs doublets. The general consequence of these models is that the left and right fermionic sectors can be connected by a new…

We study collider phenomenology of a leptophobic $Z'$ boson existing in eight scenarios of the $E_6$ grand unified theory, differing in particle embeddings. We first review the current bound on the $Z'$ mass $m_{Z'}$ based upon the LHC data…
A new heavy $Z'$ vector boson provides a possible explanation for the neutral current B anomalies. Various $U(1)'$ gauge groups have been proposed and studied. In this paper, we explore a new type of $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry inspired by…
Anomaly free $U(1)$ extensions of the standard model (SM) predict a new neutral gauge boson $Z'$. When the $Z'$ obtains its mass from the spontaneous breaking of the new $U(1)$ symmetry by a new complex scalar field, the model also predicts…
Extracting constraints on kinetic mixing between a new $U(1)'$ gauge boson hiding under the Standard Model $Z$ boson resonance requires the formalism of non-Hermitian two-point correlation functions at 1-loop order. We derive…
The recently proposed dark left-right gauge model, with Z' and W_R bosons at the TeV scale, is shown to have a simple supersymmetric extension which is unifiable. Its one-loop gauge-coupling renormalization-group equations are shown to have…
We propose a new class of models called Little Z' models in order to reduce the fine-tuning due to the current experimental limits on the Z' mass in E_6 inspired supersymmetric models, where the Higgs doublets are charged under the extra…
We discuss the prediction of the $W$ boson mass in a simple extension of the Standard Model ($\Sigma {\rm SM}$) with a real scalar triplet. A shift in the $W$ mass as reported by the CDF II collaboration can naturally be accommodated by the…
We study the sensitivity of top pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the nature of an underlying Z' boson, including full tree level standard model background effects and interferences. We demonstrate that exploiting…
