Exploring the sensitivity of hadron colliders to nonuniversality in heavy neutral currents

Abstract

We present sensitivity projections for discovering a heavy resonance decaying to electron and muon pairs and for probing the charged lepton nonuniversality in such decays at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and hadron-hadron Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh). The analysis takes into account the expected differences in the reconstruction efficiencies and the di-lepton mass resolutions for di-electron and di-muon final states. We demonstrate how the analyses at HL-LHC naturally pave the way for a FCC-hh machine thereby underlining its importance.
