TL;DR

This paper evaluates the potential for discovering the Z' gauge boson predicted by the three-site Higgsless model at the LHC through Drell-Yan production and subsequent decay into WW, focusing on specific mass scenarios.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of Z' discovery prospects in the three-site Higgsless model at the LHC, including specific mass points and decay channels.

Findings

Z' boson can be detected at the LHC for certain mass ranges.

Drell-Yan production is a promising channel for Z' discovery.

Specific mass points (380, 500, 600 GeV) are analyzed for detection potential.

Abstract

In the Higgsless models, there are extra gauge bosons which keep the perturbative unitarity of a longitudinally polarized gauge boson. The three-site Higgsless model is a minimal Higgsless model and contains three extra gauge bosons, $W^{\prime \pm}$ and Z'. In this paper, we report the discovery potential of the Z' gauge boson via Drell-Yan production with Z'(mass=380, 500, 600 GeV) $\rightarrow WW \rightarrow \ell\nu qq$ ($\ell=e$, $\mu$) at the LHC ($\sqrt{s}$=14 TeV).
