Leptophobic $Z^{\prime }$ in supersymmetry and where to find them

Abstract

This report presents possible loopholes in heavy $Z^{\prime }$ searches which are concentrated around high mass resonances. We present a scenario where massive neutral vector boson $Z^{\prime }$, predicted by $E_6$-inspired $U(1{)}^{\prime }$ models, can become leptophobic due to kinetic mixing between $Z-Z^{\prime }$. Such a scenario can avoid high-mass dilepton resonance searches. Furthermore, we propose a channel through supersymmetric cascade decays to observe leptophobic $Z^{\prime }$. We show that it is possible to reach up to $8\sigma$ at $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV and 3 ab${}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. This report follows the steps of the work that has been conducted in ref. [arXiv:1711.06302].
