Extra spatial dimensions are proposed by recent theories that postulate the scale of gravity to be of the same order as the electroweak scale. A sizeable interaction between gravitons and Standard Model particles is then predicted. Effects…

We study the phenomenology of a Z'-boson field coupled to hypercharge. The Z' propagator has a non-trivial K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density due to the mixing with a higher dimensional inert vector field. As a consequence detection…

We explore the physics of a new neutral gauge boson, ($Z^\prime$), coupling to only third-generation particles with a mass near the electroweak gauge boson mass poles. A $Z^\prime$ boson produced by top quarks and decaying to tau leptons is…
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…
