Fun with New Gauge Bosons at 100 TeV

Understand

The production of new gauge bosons is a standard benchmark for the exploration of the physics capabilities of future colliders.

• The $\sqrt s=100$ TeV Future Hadron Collider will make a major step in our ability to search for and explore the properties of such new states.
• In this paper, employing traditional models to make contact with the past and more recent literature, we not only establish in detail the discovery and exclusion reaches for both the $Z'$ and $W'$ within these models but, more importantly, we also examine the capability of the FHC to extract information relevant for the determination of the couplings of the $Z'$ to the fermions of the Standard Model as well as the helicity of the corresponding $W'$ couplings.
• This is a necessary first step in determining the nature of the underlying theory which gave rise to these states.
