Narrow-width approximation accuracy
read the original abstract
A study of general properties of the narrow-width approximation (NWA) with polarization/spin decorrelation is presented. We prove for total rates of arbitrary resonant decay or scattering processes with an on-shell intermediate state decaying via a cubic or quartic vertex that decorrelation effects vanish and the NWA is of order Gamma. Its accuracy is then determined numerically for all resonant 3-body decays involving scalars, spin-1/2 fermions or vector bosons. We specialize the general results to MSSM benchmark scenarios. Significant off-shell corrections can occur - similar in size to QCD corrections. We qualify the configurations in which a combined consideration is advisable. For this purpose, we also investigate process-independent methods to improve the NWA.

Lepton number violating signals of a parity symmetric model at $\mu$TRISTAN
In a parity-symmetric model with TeV-scale lepton number violation, a 10 TeV μ+μ+ collider can probe W' boson masses up to 16 TeV via on-shell and off-shell lepton number violating production.

The $Z'$-boson of the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model and its Large Hadron Collider Searches
In the BLSSM, Z' masses down to 2.24 TeV remain allowed when the boson is fat, leptophobic, or has large branching ratios to model-specific states while respecting LEP/SLC and LHC constraints.

Interference effects in new physics searches
Interference between new-physics resonances and Standard Model backgrounds must be included in collider searches; the review shows it can distort, enhance, or even cancel expected signals.
