Dark Z at the International Linear Collider
PHYSICAL REVIEW D(2022)
Abstract
A dark Z is a massive Abelian gauge boson which is coupled to the Standard Model through both kinetic and mass mixing with the electroweak sector. We study the phenomenology of the dark Z at an energyfrontier e+e- collider, such as the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC). We show that precision electroweak constraints and the current bounds from the hadron colliders allow a dark Z that is kinematically accessible at the ILC with 250 or 500 GeV center-of-mass energy. Further, the reach of the ILC searches for a dark Z significantly exceeds the expected reach of the high luminosity LHC. If a signal consistent with a dark-Z is discovered, it would motivate a dedicated run of the ILC at the center-ofmass energy matching the dark-Z mass. We demonstrate that a short one month run at design luminosity could measure the dark-Z chiral couplings to fermions with percent precision. This measurement can be used to discriminate between competing theoretical models of the resonance: for example, the dark Z can be distinguished from a dark photon with purely kinetic mixing.
