We study how the recent experimental results constrain the gauge sectors of U(1) extensions of the standard model using a novel representation of the parameter space. We determine the bounds on the mixing angle between the massive gauge…
We tested several models in which the Standard Model (SM) gauge group is extended by an additional U(1) gauge symmetry, against available electroweak precision data to impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in…
We analyze various models with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry in addition to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group at low energies, and impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in all such models, and on the Z-Z'…
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…
I review constraints on the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson from high energy electroweak (EW) precision data. The same data set also strongly limits various mixing effects of hypothetical extra neutral gauge bosons (Z') with the ordinary Z.…
Extra neutral gauge bosons and Higgs bosons in an effective low-energy $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_I \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_{Y^{\prime}}$ model, which is a subgroup of $E_6$, are studied. $SU(2)_I$ is a subgroup of $SU(3)_R$ and commutes with…
The full CMS Run 2 datasets with time-integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$ in the diboson channels are used to probe benchmark models with extended gauge sectors such as $E_6$, left-right symmetric (LR) and the sequential standard model…
We consider the hypothetical possibility of neutral gauge bosons~($Z^\prime$) with flavor-specific leptophilic couplings. For such {\it New Physics}~(NP) interactions, the current experimental constraints are much relaxed in the heavy mass…
Generic D-brane string models of particle physics predict the existence of extra U(1) gauge symmetries beyond hypercharge. These symmetries are not of the E_6 class but rather include the gauging of Baryon and Lepton numbers as well as…
In any gauge model with spontaneous symmetry breakdown the gauge boson masses and their mixings are not independent quantities. They are interconnected through the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the Higgs sector. We discuss the…
We study Higgs boson masses in supersymmetric models with an extra U(1) symmetry to be called U(1)$^{\prime}$. Such extra gauge symmetries are urged by the $\mu$ problem of the MSSM, and they also arise frequently in low-energy…
Recent direct searches for new massive particles place constraints on the free parameters of the Littlest Higgs model. Depending on the choice of model free parameters, the direct search limit on the global symmetry breaking scale f can…
We investigate the effects of extra neutral gauge bosons on the high $Q^2$ region of the $e^+p \to e^+ X$ cross section at $\sqrt{s}=300$ GeV. We found that the only models with electroweak strength coupling, typical of extended gauge…
We derive limits on a class of new physics effects that are naturally present in grand unified theories based on extended gauge groups, and in particular in $E_6$ and $SO(10)$ models. We concentrate on $i$) the effects of the mixing of new…
In a truly model-independent approach, we reexamine a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) through the introduction of an additional $U(1)$ symmetry leading to a new neutral gauge boson ($Z'$), allowing its kinetic mixing with the…
We consider phenomenological constraints on the mass $M_{Z^{\prime}}$ and the two mixing angles $\theta_R$ and $\xi$ of the neutral sector in a very general class of $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)$ models using electroweak data. We do…
We calculate radiative corrections to the masses of the Higgs bosons in a minimal supersymmetric model that contains an additional non-anomalous (U(1)') gauge symmetry. With some fine-tuning of the (U(1)') charges of the Higgs fields, it is…
The invariance of extensions of the Standard Model under the full SU(3)XSU(2)XU(1) gauge group can be used to classify general vector bosons and to write their interactions in a model-independent fashion. This description is useful for both…
We embed a theory with Zprime gauge boson (related to extra U(1) gauge group) into a supersymmetric GUT theory based on SO(10). Two possible sequences of SO(10) breaking via VEVs of appropriate Higgs fields are considered. Gauge coupling…
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.…
