The discovery of a new neutral gauge boson Z' could provide the first concrete evidence of physics beyond the standard model. We explore how future parity violation experiments, especially atomic parity violation experiments, can be used to constrain Z' bosons. We use the recent measurement of the Cs-133 nuclear weak charge to estimate lower bounds on the mass of Z' bosons for a number of representative models and to put constraints on the couplings of a newly discovered Z' boson. We also consider how these constraints might be improved by future atomic parity violation experiments that will measure nuclear weak charges of multiple isotopes. We show how measurements of a single isotope and combining measurements into ratios and differences can be used to constrain the couplings of a Z' and discriminate between models. We include in our results the constraints that can be obtained from the experiments QWEAK and P2 that measure the proton weak charge. We find that current and future parity violation experiments could potentially play an important role in unravelling new physics if a Z' were discovered. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.86.115017

Search for a standard model Higgs boson in CMS via vector boson fusion in the H -> WW -> l nu l nu channel Yazgan, E.; Damgov, J.; Akchurin, N.; Genchev, V.; Green, D.; Kunori, S.; Schmitt, M.; Wu, W.; Zeyrek, Mehmet Tevfik (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01) We present the potential for discovering the standard model Higgs boson produced via the vector-boson fusion mechanism. We considered the decay of Higgs bosons to the W(+)W(-)final state, with both W-bosons subsequently decaying leptonically. The main background is t (t) over bar produced in association with one or more jets. This study is based on a full simulation of the CMS detector. The result is that a signal of 5 sigma significance can be obtained with an integrated luminosity of 12-72 fb(-1) stop for...
Measurement of the W charge asymmetry in the W -> mu nu decay mode in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-27) This Letter reports a measurement of the muon charge asymmetry from W bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The asymmetry is measured in the W -> mu nu decay mode as a function of the muon pseudorapidity using a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 31 pb(-1). The results are compared to predictions based on next-to-leading order calculations with various parton distribution functions. This measurement pr...
Search for heavy resonances decaying into a vector boson and a Higgs boson in final states with charged leptons, neutrinos and b quarks at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-11-01) A search for heavy resonances, decaying into the standard model vector bosons and the standard model Higgs boson, is presented. The final states considered contain a b quark-antiquark pair from the decay of the Higgs boson, along with electrons and muons and missing transverse momentum, due to undetected neutrinos, from the decay of the vector bosons. The mass spectra are used to search for a localized excess consistent with a resonant particle. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35....
Search for dark matter and unparticles produced in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions at s =8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2016-03-22) A search for evidence of particle dark matter (DM) and unparticle production at the LHC has been performed using events containing two charged leptons, consistent with the decay of a Z boson, and large missing transverse momentum. This study is based on data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 of pp collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. No significant excess of events is observed above the number expected from the standard model contrib...
Collider effects of unparticle interactions in multiphoton signals Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Turan, İsmail (American Physical Society (APS), 2009-12-01) A new model of physics, with a hidden conformal sector which manifests itself as an unparticle coupling to standard model particles effectively through higher dimensional operators, predicts strong collider signals due to unparticle self-interactions. We perform a complete analysis of the most spectacular of these signals at the hadron collider, pp(p)->gamma gamma gamma gamma and gamma gamma gg. These processes can go through the three-point unparticle self-interactions as well as through some s and t chann...
