W' and Z' limits for Minimal Walking Technicolor

TL;DR

This paper analyzes recent CMS data to set limits on W' and Z' bosons within Minimal Walking Technicolor models, providing constraints on the theory's parameters and potential LHC discovery reach.

Contribution

It offers the first detailed interpretation of CMS non-observation data in the context of Minimal Walking Technicolor models and estimates future LHC sensitivities.

Findings

CMS data constrains W' and Z' couplings and spectrum

Exclusion and discovery reach estimates for LHC at 7 TeV and 13 TeV

Provides bounds on Technicolor model parameters

Abstract

We interpret the recent data on non-observation of Z'- and W'-bosons, reported by CMS, within Minimal Walking Technicolor models and use them to constrain the couplings and spectrum of the theory. We provide the reach for both exclusion and possible observation for the LHC with 5 fb^-1 at 7 TeV in the centre of mass energy, and 100 fb^-1 at 13 TeV.
