In this brief review, we examine the potential of AFB in setting bounds on or even discovering a Z' at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and proof that it might be a powerful tool for this purpose. We analyse two different scenarios: Z's with a narrow and wide width, respectively. We find that, in both cases, AFB can complement the conventional searches in accessing Z' signals traditionally based on cross section measurements only.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-20T13:47:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "large hadron collider", "forward-backward asymmetry", "complementarity", "cross section measurements", "brief review" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151005892A", "inspire": 1399075 } } }
