Abstract
A brief pedagogical overview of the phenomenology of Z' gauge bosons is presented. Such particles can arise in various electroweak extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We provide a quick survey of a number of Z' models, review the current constraints on the possible properties of a Z' and explore in detail how the LHC may discover and help elucidate the nature of these new particles. We provide an overview of the Z' studies that have been performed by both ATLAS and CMS. The role of the ILC in determining Z' properties is also discussed.

Improved constraints on Z′ bosons from electroweak precision data

TL;DR: In this article, the mass of the neutral Z' boson, predicted in all such models, and on the Z?Z' mixing angle, were investigated and the precision electroweak (EW) data strongly constrain?ZZ' to very small values and for most models, they find lower limits on MZ' of (1TeV).

Heavy vector triplets: bridging theory and data

TL;DR: In this article, a model-independent approach is proposed to study narrow resonances of a heavy vector triplet of the Standard Model (SM) group for illustration, which is based on a simplified phenomenological Lagrangian.

Where in the brain is morality? Everywhere and maybe nowhere.

TL;DR: This review will discuss early assumptions ofdomain-specificity in moral neuroscience as well as subsequent investigations of domain-general contributions, taking emotion and social cognition as case studies and considering possible cognitive accounts of a domain-specific morality.

Candidates for inelastic dark matter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the general properties that a viable IDM candidate must have and search for simple models that realize these properties in natural ways, and show that an inelastic dark matter candidate with electroweak interactions can naturally satisfy observational constraints while simultaneously yielding the correct thermal relic abundance.

Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak scale is generated from the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy, but this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric, which is a slice of spacetime.

Electroweak symmetry breaking from dimensional deconstruction

TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of four-dimensional theories for natural electroweak symmetry breaking, relying neither on supersymmetry nor on strong dynamics at the TeV scale, was proposed.

The Littlest Higgs

TL;DR: In this paper, an economical theory of natural electroweak symmetry breaking was proposed, which stabilizes the electroweak scale with a naturally light Higgs and weakly coupled new physics at TeV energies.
