Description

A vector boson W1 with the quantum numbers (3,1) under the electroweak group SU(2)L×U(1)Y could in principle couple
with the Higgs field via the renormalizable term W1μHDμH. This interaction is known to affect the T parameter and, in so doing, it could potentially explain the 2022 CDF measurement of the W-boson mass.

As it is often the case with vectors, building a viable model with a W1 gauge boson is non-trivial. In this talk I will describe two variations of a minimal setup containing this field; they are based on an extended SO(5)×SU(2)×U(1) electroweak group. I will nevertheless show that interactions such as W1μHμH are not generated in a Yang-Mills theory. A coupling between W1, H and another Higgs doublet H is possible though.
