Z' boson detection in the Minimal Quiver Standard Model

TL;DR

This paper explores the detection prospects of a Z' boson predicted by the Minimal Quiver Standard Model, analyzing existing experimental constraints and potential signals at the LHC.

Contribution

It provides a phenomenological analysis of the Z' boson in the model, including current experimental bounds and future detection possibilities at the LHC.

Findings

Z' boson masses below 700 GeV are excluded by LEP data.

Masses below 620 GeV are excluded by Fermilab data.

A 1 TeV Z' could produce a small peak in di-lepton and top pair channels at the LHC.

Abstract

We undertake a phenomenological study of the extra neutral Z' boson in the Minimal Quiver Standard Model and discuss limits on the model's parameters from previous precision electroweak experiments, as well as detection prospects at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. We find that masses lower than around 700 GeV are excluded by the $Z$-pole data from the CERN-LEP collider, and below 620 GeV by experimental data from di-electron events at the Fermilab-Tevatron collider. We also find that at a mass of 1 TeV the LHC cross section would show a small peak in the di-lepton and top pair channel.
