High-dimensional Z' phenomenology at hadron colliders
arXiv:0808.1680 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.074016
Abstract
We study the phenomenology of a Z'-boson field coupled to hypercharge. The Z' propagator has a non-trivial Källén-Lehmann spectral density due to the mixing with a higher dimensional inert vector field. As a consequence detection possibilities at hadron colliders are reduced. We determine the range of parameters where this field can be studied at the Tevatron and the LHC through its production cross section via the Drell-Yan mechanism.
