A bstractThe interference effects between an extra neutral spin-1 Z′-boson and the Standard Model background in the Drell-Yan channel at the LHC are studied in detail. The final state with two oppositely charged leptons is considered. The interference contribution to the new physics signal, currently not fully taken into account by experimental collaborations in Z′-searches and in the interpretation of the results, can be substantial. It may affect limits or discovery prospects of Z′ at the LHC…

A bstractThe Drell-Yan di-lepton production at hadron colliders is by far the preferred channel to search for new heavy spin-1 particles. Traditionally, such searches have exploited the Narrow Width
Interference Effects in tt̄ Production at the LHC as a Window on New Physics

Exclusion and discovery via Drell-Yan in the 4DCHM

Searches for Z' bosons are most sensitive in the dilepton channels at hadron colliders. Whilst finite width and interference effects do affect the modifications the presence of BSM physics makes to

The potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for searches for effects associated with Z−Z′ mixing in the hadroproduction of W±-boson pairs is studied. The results of our numerical analysis are
