Z' bosons at the LHC in a modified MSSM

TL;DR

This paper investigates Z' boson production at the LHC within U(1)' models inspired by Grand Unification and the Sequential Standard Model, focusing on decay channels involving supersymmetric particles and their experimental signatures.

Contribution

It provides new calculations of branching ratios and event rates for Z' decays into supersymmetric particles within a modified MSSM framework.

Findings

Branching ratios for Z' into supersymmetric channels are quantified.

Predicted event rates for Z' with sparticle production at the LHC.

Analysis of final states with charged leptons and missing energy.

Abstract

I study the production of heavy neutral gauge bosons Z' at the LHC in U(1)' models, inspired by Grand Unification Theories, as well as in the Sequential Standard Model, accounting for possible decays into supersymmetric channels. I shall consider the MSSM and present results on branching ratios and event rates with sparticle production at the LHC, taking particular care about final states with charged leptons and missing energy.
