Production of the new gauge boson BH via e^-y collision in the littlest Higgs model

The lightest new gauge boson BH with mass of hundreds GeV is predicted in the littlest Higgs model. BH should be accessible in the planned ILC and the observation of such particle can strongly support the littlest Higgs model. The realization of 7Y and e^-γ collisions would open a wider window to probe BH. In this paper, we study the new gauge boson BH production processes e^-γ→e^-BH and e^-γ→e^-BH at the ILC. Our results show that the production cross section of the process e^-γ→e^-BH is less than 0.1 fb in most parameter spaces allowed by the electroweak precision data while the cross section of the process e^-γ→e^-BH can be over one fb in the favorable parameter spaces. With the high luminosity, the enough typical signals could be produced via e^-γ→e^-BH. Because the final electron and photon beams can be easily identified and the signal can be easily distinguished from the backgrounds produced by Z and H decaying, e^-γ→e^-BH is a promising process to probe BH.

Associated productions of the new gauge boson B_H in the Littlest Higgs model with a SM gauge boson via e^+e^- collision

With the high energy and luminosity, the planned ILC has the considerable capability to probe the new heavy particles predicted by the new physics models. In this paper, we study the potential to discover the lightest new gauge boson BH of the Littlest Higgs model via the processes e^＋e^- →γ（Z）BH at the ILC. The results show that the production rates of these two processes are large enough to detect BH in a wide range of the parameter spaces, specially for the process e^＋e^- →γ TBH. Furthermore, there exist some decay modes for BH which can provide the typical signal and clean backgrounds. Therefore, the new gauge boson BH should be observable via these production processes with the running of the ILC if it exist.

Search for dark matter production in association with the Z′ boson at the LHC in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV using Monte Carlo simulations

This analysis evaluates the possibility of the search for Dark Matter(DM)particles using events with a Zf heavy gauge boson and a large missing transverse momentum at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC).We consider the muonic decay of Z'.The analyzed Monte Carlo samples were the Open simulated files produced by the Compact Muon Solenoid(CMS)collaboration for proton-proton collisions,corresponding to an integrated luminosity of the LHC run-I with 19.7 fb^(-1) at √s=8 TeV.Two scenarios,namely a simplified benchmark scenario,called Dark Higgs,and the effective field theory(EFT)formalism,were used for interpretations.Limits were set on Z′,dark matter masses,and the cutoff scale of the EFT.

A multi-charged particle model with local U(1)_(μ-τ) to explain muon g-2,flavor physics,and possible collider signature

We consider a model with multi-charged particles,including vector-like fermions,and a charged scalar under a local U(1)_(μ−τ) symmetry.We search for an allowed parameter region explaining muon anomalous magnetic moment(muon g−2)and b→sℓ^(+)ℓ^(−) anomalies,satisfying constraints from the lepton flavor violations,Z boson decays,meson anti-meson mixing,and collider experiments.Via numerical analysis,we explore the typical size of the muon g−2 and Wilson coefficients to explain the b→sℓ^(+)ℓ^(−) anomalies in our model when all other experimental constraints are satisfied.Subsequently,we discuss the collider physics of the multicharged vectorlike fermions,considering a number of benchmark points in the allowed parameter space.

X(16.7) as the solution of the NuTeV anomaly

A recent experimental study of excited8 Be decay to its ground state revealed an anomaly in the angular distribution of the final states. This exceptional result is attributed to a new vector gauge boson X（16.7）. We study the significance of this new boson, especially its effect in anomalies observed in long-lasting experimental measurements.By comparing the discrepancies between the Standard Model predictions and the experimental results, we find the values and regions of the couplings of X（16.7） to the muon and muon neutrino. In this work, we find that the newly observed boson X（16.7） may be the solution of both the Nu Te V anomaly and the（g-2）μ puzzle.

Signals of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity at eγ and ep collisions

The littlest Higgs model with T-parity predicts the existence of the neutral, weakly interacting, new gauge boson BH, which can be seen as an attractive dark matter candidate. We study production of the new gauge boson BH via ey and ep collisions. We find that BH can be abundantly produced via the subprocesses e^-T→ L^-BH and γq→BHQ, which might give rise to characteristic signals. Some discussions about the SM backgrounds for this kind of signals are also given.
