Abstract

A spin-1 weakly interacting vector boson, Z′, is predicted by many new physics theories. Searches at colliders for such a Z′ resonance typically focus on lepton-antilepton or top-antitop events. Here we present a novel channel with a Z′ resonance that decays to 4 leptons, but not to 2 leptons, and discuss its possible discovery at the Large Hadron Collider. This baryonic gauge boson is well motivated in a supersymmetry framework.
