Description
We propose a solution to the recent W mass measurement by embedding the Standard Model within $E_6$ models. The presence of a new U(1) group shifts the W boson mass at the tree level and introduces a new gauge boson $Z′$ which has been searched for at collider experiments. In this article, we identity the parameter space that explains the new $W$ mass measurement and is consistent with current experimental $Z′$ searches. As U(1) extensions can be accommodated in supersymmetric models, we also consider the supersymmetric scenario of $E_6$ models, and show that a 125 GeV Higgs may be easily achieved in such settings.
