Two photon decay of Z' as a probe of Bose symmetry violation at the CERN LHC

TL;DR

This paper explores how the forbidden decay of a hypothetical Z' boson into two photons at the CERN LHC could serve as a test for potential violations of Bose symmetry at high energies.

Contribution

It proposes using the Z' -> 2 gamma decay as a novel experimental probe for Bose symmetry violation at the TeV scale.

Findings

Decay of Z' into two photons is forbidden by Bose statistics.

Searching for this decay can test Bose symmetry at the LHC.

Potential observation would indicate Bose symmetry violation.

Abstract

The question if the Bose statistics is broken at the TeV scale is discussed. The decay of a new heavy spin 1 gauge boson Z' into two photons, Z'-> 2 gamma, is forbidden by the Bose statistics among other general principles of quantum field theory (Landau-Yang theorem). We point out that the search for this decay can be effectively used to probe the Bose symmetry violation at the CERN LHC.
