Collider searches for new vector-like particles such as Z have mostly been pursued by looking for a peak in the invariant mass spectrum of the decay products. However off-shell Z exchange may leave an imprint on other kinematic distributions, leading thus to non-resonant searches. The aim of this paper is to assess, in the context of the LHC, the interplay between resonant (s-channel) and non-resonant (t-channel) searches for a generic leptophobic Z model. We show in particular that while non-resonant searches are less sensitive to small couplings, they tend to be more adapted at high masses and large couplings. We discuss our findings both at the level of the current limits and the expectations at higher luminosities.
We propose a new collider probe for axion-like particles (ALPs), and more generally for pseudo-Goldstone bosons: non-resonant searches which take advantage of the derivative nature of their interactions with Standard Model particles. ALPs can partici
We analyze the capacity of future $Z$-factories to search for heavy neutrinos with their mass from 10 to 85 GeV. The heavy neutrinos $N$ are considered to be produced via the process $e^+e^-to Zto u N$ and to decay into an electron or muon and two j
In addition to the existing strong indications for lepton flavour university violation (LFUV) in low energy precision experiments, CMS recently released an analysis of non-resonant di-lepton pairs which could constitute the first sign of LFUV in high
We analyse the consequences of the usual assumption of a constant function to fit non-resonant decays from experimental Dalitz plot describing charmed meson decays. We first show, using the $D^+to bar{K}^0pi^+pi^0$ decay channel as an example, how an
Spectrum of the doubly heavy tetraquarks, $bbbar qbar q$, is studied in a constituent quark model. Four-body problem is solved in a variational method where the real scaling technique is used to identify resonant states above the fall-apart decay thr
