TL;DR
This paper explores how Z' bosons from GUT-inspired models can decay into supersymmetric particles, affecting LHC exclusion limits and suggesting new search strategies for these particles.
Contribution
It introduces a scenario where Z' bosons decay into supersymmetric states, reducing current mass exclusion limits and highlighting the importance of considering supersymmetric channels in searches.
Findings
Decays into supersymmetric states lower Z' mass exclusion limits by 200-300 GeV.
Supersymmetric decay channels significantly impact Z' search strategies at the LHC.
The scenario broadens the potential signatures of Z' bosons beyond Standard Model channels.
Abstract
I present a scenario wherein heavy neutral vector bosons Z', predicted by GUT-inspired U(1)' models, decay into supersymmetric final states, besides the Standard Model channels investigated at the LHC. It is found that accounting for such decays lowers the exclusion limits on the Z' mass at 13 TeV by about 200-300 GeV.
