Extraction of Coupling Information From $Z' \to jj$
Preprint
- 19 March 1993
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 $Z' \to jj$ channel in excess of $6\sigma$ 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 $Z' \to \ell^+ \ell^-$ `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.
