An Explanation of the CDF Dijet Anomaly within a $U(1)_X$ Stueckelberg Extension

Understand

We discuss the recent excess seen by the CDF Collaboration in the dijet invariant mass distribution produced in association with a $W$ boson.

• We analyze the possibility of such a signal within the context of a $U(1)_X$ Stueckelberg extension of the Standard Model where the new gauge boson couples only to quarks.
• In addition to the analysis of the $Wjj$ anomaly we also discuss the production of $Zjj$ and $\gamma jj$ at the Tevatron.
• The analysis is then extended to the Large Hadron Collider with $\sqrt{s}=7 {\rm TeV}$ and predictions for the dijet signals are made.
