Extraction of Coupling Information From Z' jj
Abstract
An analysis by the ATLAS Collaboration has recently shown, contrary to popular belief, that a combination of strategic cuts, excellent mass resolution, and detailed knowledge of the QCD backgrounds from direct measurements can be used to extract a signal in the Z' jj channel in excess of 6σ for certain classes of extended electroweak models. We explore the possibility that the data extracted from Z dijet peak will have sufficient statistical power as to supply information on the couplings of the Z' provided it is used in conjunction with complimentary results from the Z' + - `discovery' channel. We show, for a 1 TeV Z' produced at the SSC, that this technique can provide a powerful new tool with which to identify the origin of Z''s.
