$$M_W$$ M W in string derived Z $$^\prime $$ ′ models

Abstract We introduce a phenomenological model for a string-derived $$Z^\prime $$ Z ′ scenario, and study its predictions for the mass of the W boson. In the process, we compare it to collider constraints for both pair-produced particles, Higgs boson properties, and $$Z^\prime $$ Z ′ searches. We also describe the implementation of new tools in the scanning code BSMArt.
