Supersymmetry in Z' decays

Abstract

I study the phenomenology of new heavy neutral gauge bosons Z', predicted by GUT-driven U(1)' gauge groups and by the Sequential Standard Model. BSM decays into supersymmetric final states are accounted for, besides the SM modes so far investigated. I give an estimate of the number of supersymmetric events in Z' decays possibly expected at the LHC, as well as of the product of the Z' cross section times the branching fraction into electron and muon pairs.
