Flavor-changing and CP-violating interactions of Z to fermions are generally present in models with extra U(1) gauge symmetry that are string-inspired or related to broken gauged family symmetry. We study the consequences of such couplings in fermion electric dipole moments, muon g-2, and K and B meson mixings. From experimental limits or measured values, we constrain the off-diagonal Z couplings to fermions. Some of these constraints are comparable or stronger than the existing constraints obtained from other observables.
We explore a Z boson with family-nonuniversal couplings to charged leptons. The general effect of Z-Z mixing, of both kinetic and mass types, is included in the analysis. Adopting a model-independent approach, we perform a comprehensive study of cons
Models with a non-universal Z exhibit in general flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) at tree-level. When the Z couplings favor the third generation, flavor changing transitions of the form Ztc and Ztu could be large enough to be observable at the
Rare $B$ meson decays offer an opportunity to probe a light hidden $Z$ boson. In this work we explore a new channel $B_q to gamma Z$ ($q = d, s$) followed by a cascade decay of $Z$ into an invisible (neutrino or dark matter) or charged lepton pair $e
We report on a detailed analysis of a SO(10) SUSY GUT model of Dermisek and Raby (DR) with a D3 family symmetry. The model is completely specified in terms of only 24 parameters and is able to successfully describe both quark and lepton masses and mi
A plethora of ultraviolet completions of the Standard Model have extra U(1) gauge symmetries. In general, the associated massive $Z^prime$ gauge boson can mediate flavor-changing neutral current processes at tree level. We consider a situation where
