Description
We explore the potential of future high-energy lepton colliders to probe heavy vector resonances.
At wakefield colliders, intense beam-beam interactions produce radiation, called beamstrahlung,
which redistributes luminosity from the nominal energy across a broad spectrum of lower collision
energies. We show that this effect, conventionally viewed as a drawback, dramatically enhances
sensitivity to resonances by effectively scanning a wide range of center-of-mass energies. We present
projections for a benchmark scenario of a heavy kinetically mixed Z′.
