Typical discovery limits are for the TEVATRON $\\sim 1$ TeV, DI-TEVATRON $\\sim 2$ TeV, LHC $\\sim 4$ TeV, LSGNA (a 60 TeV $pp$ collider) $\\sim 13$ TeV while the $e^+e^-$ discovery limits are $2-10\\times \\sqrt{s}$ with the large variation reflecting the model dependence of the limits. While both types of colliders have comparable discovery limits the hadron colliders are generally less dependent on the specific $Z'$ model and provide more robust limits since the signal has little background. In contrast, discovery limits for $e^+e^-$ limits are more model dependent and because they are based on indirect inferences of deviations from standard model predictions, they are more sensitive to systematic errors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-11-08T03:21:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "comparison", "heavy neutral gauge bosons", "standard model predictions", "systematic errors", "discovery potential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
