We perform a complete calculation at the one-loop level for the Zggg and Zggg couplings in the context of the minimal 331 model, which predicts the existence of a new Z gauge boson and new exotic quarks. Bose symmetry is exploited to write a compact and manifest SU_C(3)-invariant vertex function for the Vggg (V=Z,Z) coupling. Previous results on the $Zto ggg$ decay in the standard model are reproduced. It is found that this decay is insensitive to the effects of the new exotic quarks. This in contrast with the $Zto ggg$ decay, which is sensitive to both the standard model and exotic quarks, whose branching ratio is larger than that of the $Zto ggg$ transition by about a factor of 4.
We investigate coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering ($CE u NS$) in 3-3-1 models for different values of $beta$ in which $beta$ is a parameter used to define the charge operator of the 331 models. We show that the number of events predicted by 331$beta$ model is in agreement with the data given by COHERENT experiment. We evaluate the sensitivity of the mass of Z boson with 90% confidence level (CL) and find that $m_{Z}geq 1.4 $TeV for $beta=-sqrt{3}$ with 90% CL. We perform $chi^2$ fit for liquid Argon, Germanium and NaI detector subsystems, we obtain $m_{Z} geq [2,3.1 ]$ TeV with 90% CL. Our results indicate low-energy high-intensity measurements can provide a valuable probe, complementary to high energy collider searches at LHC and electroweak precision measurements.
We study the phenomenology of simplified $Z^prime$ models with a global $U(2)^3$ flavour symmetry in the quark sector, broken solely by the Standard Model Yukawa couplings. This flavour symmetry, known as less-minimal flavour violation, protects $Delta F=2$ processes from dangerously large new physics (NP) effects, and at the same time provides a free complex phase in $bto s$ transitions, allowing for an explanation of the hints for additional direct CP violation in kaon decays ($epsilon^prime/epsilon$) and in hadronic $B$-decays ($Bto Kpi$ puzzle). Furthermore, once the couplings of the $Z^prime$ boson to the leptons are included, it is possible to address the intriguing hints for NP (above the 5$,sigma$ level) in $bto s ell^+ell^-$ transitions. Taking into account all flavour observables in a global fit, we find that $epsilon^prime/epsilon$, the $Bto Kpi$ puzzle and $bto s ell^+ell^-$ data can be explained simultaneously. Sizeable CP violation in $bto s ell^+ell^-$ observables, in particular $A_8$, is predicted, which can be tested in the near future, and an explanation of the $Bto Kpi$ and $epsilon^prime/epsilon$ puzzles leads to effects in di-jet tails at the LHC, that are not far below the current limits. Once $bto s ell^+ell^-$ is included, cancellations in di-muon tails, possibly by a second $Z^prime$, are required by LHC data.
We study the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays Z-> l_i l_j (l_{i,j}=e,mu,tau) in the framework of the minimal 331 model. The main contributions arise at the one-loop level via a doubly charged bilepton with general LFV couplings. We obtain an estimate for the corresponding branching ratios by using the bounds on the LFV couplings of the doubly charged bilepton from the current experimental limits on the decays l_i-> l_jgamma and l_i-> l_j l_k l_k. A bound on the bilepton mass is also obtained through the current limit on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. It is found that the bilepton contributions to LFV Z decays are not expected to be at the reach of experimental detection. In particular, the branching ratio for the Z-> mu tau decay is below the 10^{-10} level for a bilepton mass of the order of 500 GeV.
We show that the minimal 3-3-1 model cannot accommodate the neutrino masses at tree level using present experimental data. Nevertheless, a modified Zee and the Zee-Babu mechanisms for generating neutrino masses at 1-loop and 2-loop, respectively, are automatically implemented in the minimal 3-3-1 model, without introducing new degrees of freedom to the model. We also present a systematic method for finding solutions to the leptonic sector masses and mixing. As a case study, we accommodate the charged and neutral leptons masses and the PMNS matrix in the 1-loop modified Zee mechanism contained in the minimal 3-3-1 model.
We study $Z$ phenomenology at hadron colliders in an $U(1)$ extended MSSM. We choose a $U(1)$ model with a secluded sector, where the tension between the electroweak scale and developing a large enough mass for $Z$ is resolved by incorporating three additional singlet superfields into the model. We perform a detailed analysis of the production, followed by decays, including into supersymmetric particles, of a $Z$ boson with mass between 4 and 5.2 TeV, with particular emphasis on its possible discovery. We select three different scenarios consistent with the latest available experimental data and relic density constraints, and concentrate on final signals with two leptons, four leptons and six leptons. Including the SM background from processes with two, three or four vector bosons, we show the likelihood of observing a $Z^prime$ boson is not promising for the HL-LHC at 14 TeV. While at 27 and 100 TeV, the situation is more optimistic, and we devise specific benchmark scenarios which could be observed.
