Inspired by the recent development on Higgs search, we study the properties of $Z'$ via the Higgs and $Z$ boson associated production. The couplings of $Z'$ to quarks can be investigated through $pp \\to Z'\\to ZH\\to l^+l^-b \\bar b$ process, which also provides extraordinary signal for understanding the properties of $Z'ZH$ interaction. The standard model background processes can be significantly suppressed by adopting appropriate kinematic cuts. The charged lepton angular distributions are related to the ratio of chiral couplings of $Z'$ to quarks via $Z'ZH$ interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-07T10:06:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.80.Bn", "14.70.Hp", "12.60.Cn", "14.70.Pw" ], "keywords": [ "associated production", "standard model background processes", "extra neutral gauge bosons", "charged lepton angular distributions", "adopting appropriate kinematic cuts" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2013, "month": "Jun", "volume": 87, "number": 11, "pages": 115024 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1232218, "adsabs": "2013PhRvD..87k5024L" } } }
