abstract

We consider the phenomenology of a naturally leptophobic $Z$-prime boson in the 1 to 10 GeV mass range. The $Z$-prime's couplings to leptons arise only via a radiatively-generated kinetic mixing with the $Z$ and photon, and hence are suppressed. We map out the allowed regions of the mass-coupling plane and show that such a $Z$-prime that couples to quarks with electromagnetic strength is not excluded by the current data. We then discuss possible signatures at bottom and charm factories.

Quark-universal $U(1)$ breaking scalar at the LHC

hep-ph · 2025-06-06 · conditional · novelty 6.0

In a quark-universal U(1)_B model, the scalar φ that breaks the symmetry can be discovered first through its diphoton decay, and its rate can explain the 95 GeV diphoton excess.
