Stringent Dilepton Bounds on Left-Right Models using LHC data

Abstract

In canonical left-right symmetric models the lower mass bounds on the charged gauge bosons are in the ballpark of $3-4$ TeV, resulting into much stronger limits on the neutral gauge boson $Z_R$, making its production unreachable at the LHC. However, if one evokes different patterns of left-right symmetry breaking the $Z_R$ might be lighter than the $W_R^{\pm }$ motivating an independent $Z_R$ collider study. In this work, we use the 8 TeV ATLAS $20.3$ fb${}^{-1}$ luminosity data to derive robust bounds on the $Z_R$ mass using dilepton data. %because they provide the most restrictive limits due to the sizable $Z_R$-lepton couplings. We find strong lower bounds on the $Z_R$ mass for different right-handed gauge couplings, excluding $Z_R$ masses up to $\sim 3.2$TeV. For the canonical LR model we place a lower mass bound of $\sim 2.5$TeV. Our findings are almost independent of the right-handed neutrino masses ($\sim 2\%$ effect) and applicable to general left-right models.
