Description

I will introduce a simplified model for two colorless heavy vector resonances in the singlet representation of $SU(2)_L$, with zero and unit hypercharge, and use this model to motivate future collider efforts. I will discuss the semi-analytic production of these narrow resonances at proton colliders, and I will show current LHC constraints for a variety of two-body final states. In addition, I will draw on current limits to provide sensitivity projections for future high-energy colliders, discussing the role of the FCC-hh in future heavy resonance searches. The utility of this simplified model is illustrated by matching these results onto three explicit models: one weakly coupled abelian and one weakly coupled non-abelian extension of the Standard Model gauge group, and a strongly coupled minimal composite Higgs model. I will show that under these explicit models, the FCC-hh will constrain beyond the Standard Model vectors far above the reach of the LHC or similar future colliders.
