A new massive gauge boson (X) coupling to the third family produces a tantalizing pattern of deviations away from the standard model. These include increasing Gamma_b/Gamma_h and decreasing the alpha_s(M_Z) extracted from Gamma_h/Gamma_ell.…
For a new family-nonuniversal gauge interaction to be accessible at the LHC it will most likely couple preferentially to the third family. By coupling to all members of the third family the production of a new gauge boson (the $X$ with…
A massive gauge boson coupling to the third family but not lighter families mixes with the $Z$. The $Z$ partial width to $b\overline{b}$ increases, the $\tau$ asymmetry parameter increases, the invisible width of the $Z$ decreases, and…
We consider extensions of the Standard Model with an extra U(1) gauge boson which couples to B-(alpha L_e + beta L_mu + gamma L_tau) with alpha + beta + gamma = 3. We show that the extra gauge boson necessarily mixes with the Z leading to…
The branching ratio of the rare decay B->X_s gamma provides potentially strong constraints on models beyond the Standard Model. Considering a general scenario with new heavy neutral gauge bosons, present in particular in Z' and gauge…
A new $U(1)$ gauge boson coupling predominantly to the third family has been considered in connection with recent LEP data. We consider another likely consequence of such a gauge boson, a greatly enhanced $b$ quark decay mode, $b \to s…
The deviation of the experimental value of $R_b \equiv \Gamma_b/\Gamma_h$ from the standard-model prediction can be naturally explained in the extended technicolor scenario.The diagonal extended technicolor gauge boson which…
The mass and weak interaction eigenstates for the quarks of the third generation are very well aligned, an empirical fact for which the Standard Model offers no explanation. We explore the possibility that this alignment is due to an…
We show that the flavor-diagonal gauge boson of the extended technicolor theory contributes with opposite sign to the standard model correction for the $Zbb$ vertex. This mechanism can naturally explain the deviation of the LEP result from…
We study the flavor-changing neutral current contributions to the trilinear neutral gauge boson couplings $Z\gamma V^\ast$ ($V=Z$, $\gamma$) at the one-loop level. Only the $CP$-conserving form factor $h_3^Z$ is induced, with the relevant…
It is possible, and for several reasons attractive, to explain a collection of recent anomalies involving $b\rightarrow s\mu\mu$ processes with a $Z^{\prime}$ gauge boson coupled only to the third family in the weak eigenbasis. From this…
The effects of an extra $Z'$ gauge boson with family nonuniversal fermion couplings on the rare top quark decay $t --> c $gamma$ are first examined in a model independent way and then in the minimal 331 model. It is found that the…
The recent precision measurement of the $W$-boson mass reveals an exciting hint for the new physics as of the 3-3-1 model. We indicate that the 3-3-1 model contains distinct sources by itself that may cause the $W$-mass deviation, as…
We show that the mixing effect of the neutral gauge bosons in the 3-3-1-1 model comes from two sources. The first one is due to the 3-3-1-1 gauge symmetry breaking as usual, whereas the second one results from the kinetic mixing between the…
Theories of flavor violation beyond the Standard Model typically suppose that the new contributions must be small, for example suppressed by Yukawa couplings, as in Minimal Flavor Violation. We show that this need not be true, presenting a…
Flavor-changing and CP-violating interactions of Z' to fermions are generally present in models with extra U(1) gauge symmetry that are string-inspired or related to broken gauged family symmetry. We study the consequences of such couplings…
We explore models with additional right-handed gauge bosons that couple predominantly to the third generation in the context of $b\bar{b}$ production at LEP. In particular we investigate potential new contributions to $\delta g_{Rb}$ that…
We consider a model in which the third family fermions are subjected to an SU(2) interaction different from the first two family fermions. Constrained by the Z-pole data, the heavy gauge boson mass is bounded from below to be about 1.7 TeV…
We study the potential effect of anomalous couplings of the third generation quarks to gauge bosons in rare B decays. We focus on the constraints from flavor changing neutral current processes such as $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to s…
Based on a specific model with U(3) family gauge symmetry at $10^3$ TeV scale, we show its experimental signatures to search for. Since the gauge symmetry is introduced with a special purpose, its gauge coupling constant and gauge boson…
