Description

I will discuss the scenario where new physics in the form of a massive Z′ particle explains apparent measurements of lepton flavour non-universality in B→K(∗)l+l− decays. Hadron collider sensitivities for direct production of such Z′s have been previously studied in the narrow width limit for a μ+μ− final state. I will extend the analysis to sizeable decay widths and improve the sensitivity estimate for the narrow width case. I will estimate the sensitivities of the high luminosity 14 TeV Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), a high energy 27 TeV LHC (HE-LHC), as well as a potential 100 TeV future circular collider (FCC).
