Doubly-Charged Boson Production in $p \bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV

TL;DR

This paper investigates the potential role of doubly-charged bosons, predicted by the 3-3-1 model, in explaining the excess muons observed in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV.

Contribution

It proposes that doubly-charged bosons could account for the muon excess, linking experimental anomalies to a specific extension of the electroweak gauge symmetry.

Findings

Doubly-charged bosons may explain muon excess in $p ar{p}$ collisions.

The 3-3-1 model predicts particles consistent with the observed phenomena.

Potential signatures of these bosons could be observed in collider experiments.

Abstract

It is suggested that the observed excess of muons in studies of $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV arises from the decay of doubly-charged bosons. Such particles are predicted in the 3-3-1 model where the electroweak gauge group is extended to $SU(3) \times U(1)$.
