PARTICLE PHYSICS SEMINAR

at 17:00 - Stückelberg Auditorium

Search for spin-1 excited bosons at the LHC

Mihail V. Chizhov (Physics Department, Sofia University, Bulgaria)

I will discuss the resonance production of new type spin-1 excited bosons, Z*, at hadron colliders. They can be observed as a Breit-Wigner resonance peak in the invariant dilepton mass distribution in the same way as the well-known hypothetical gauge bosons, Z�. This makes them very interesting objects for early searches with the LHC first data. Moreover, they have unique signatures in transverse momentum and angular distributions, which allow to distinguish them from other resonances.
