Search for extra gauge bosons in Little Higgs models at a linear collider

A generic feature of little Higgs models is presence of extra neutral gauge bosons. In the littlest Higgs model, the neutral extra gauge boson A_H is lightest among the extra particles and could be as light as a few hundred GeV, which may be produced directly at an e^+ e^- linear collider. We study production and decay of A_H at the linear collider and compare them with those of Z' bosons in supersymmetric E_6 models.
