Flavour-changing neutral currents in models with extraZ′ boson

Abstract

New neutral gauge bosonsZ′ are the features of many models addressing the physics beyond the standard model. Together with the existence of new neutral gauge bosons, models based on extended gauge groups (rank > 4) often predict new charged fermions also. A mixing of the known fermions with new states, with exotic weak-isospin assignments (left-handed singlets and right-handed doublets) will induce tree-level flavour-changing neutral interactions mediated byZ exchange, while if the mixing is only with new states with ordinary weak-isospin assignments, the flavour-changing neutral currents are mainly due to the exchange of the new neutral gauge bosonZ′. We review flavour-changing neutral currents in models with extraZ′ boson. Then we discuss some flavour-changing processes forbidden in the standard model and new contributions to standard model processes.
