Pair production of heavy charged gauge bosons in $pp$ collisions at LHC

Abstract

Two opposite charged new heavy gauge boson pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is presented in this paper. These bosons are known as $W^{{}^{\prime }}$ boson due to the reason that it is the heavy version of Standard Model's weak force carrier, the $W$ boson. The production cross section and decay width in proton-proton ($pp$) collision at \sqrts~= 8 TeV are calculated for different masses and coupling strengths of $W^{{}^{\prime }}$. Efficiencies for different signal regions and branching ratios for different decay channels are computed. In this study, the pair production ($W^{{}^{\prime +}}{W}^{{}^{\prime -}}$) is considered in emerging new physics as a result of $pp$ collision at \sqrts~= 8 TeV at the LHC with final state containing two tau ($\tau$) leptons and two neutrinos (each $W^{{}^{\prime }}$ decay to $\tau$ and its neutrino). The event selection efficiency similar to the CMS experiment is used for the mass of $W^{{}^{\prime }}$ to set lower limits for different coupling strengths of $W^{{}^{\prime }}$ and results are presented in this work. For heavy gauge bosons, when coupling strength is similar to that of Standard Model's $W$ boson, the mass of $W^{{}^{\prime }}$ below 305 GeV are excluded at confidence level of $95\%$.
