LHC signatures for Z` models with continuously distributed mass

TL;DR

This paper explores how Z' models with a continuous mass distribution could produce broad resonance signals at the LHC, particularly in Drell-Yan processes, offering new experimental signatures.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of continuously distributed mass in Z' models and analyzes their distinctive broad resonance signatures at the LHC.

Findings

Broad resonance in Drell-Yan process as a signature

Continuous mass distribution affects resonance shape

Potential for new Z' detection strategies

Abstract

We discuss phenomenological consequences of renormalizable Z` models with continuously distributed mass. We point out that one of possible LHC signatures for such nodel is the existence of broad resonance in Drell-Yan reaction $pp \to Z^{`} \to l^+l^-$.
