Identification of new neutral vector bosons at LHC and SSC using beam polarization

Z' Physics at the LHC

“…Possible observables in other two-fermion final state channels include the polarization of produced τ 's [82]; the pp → Z → jj cross section [83,29]; and branching ratios, forward-backward asymmetries, and spin correlations for b b and t t [79,84,85,86]. There are no current plans for polarization at the LHC, but polarization asymmetries at a future or upgraded hadron collider would provide another useful diagnostic [87]. Family nonuniversal but flavor conserving effects are discussed in [88,89].…”
