Abstract
The excess events reported by the ATLAS collaboration in the WZ-final state, and by the CMS collaboration in the e[Formula: see text]e[Formula: see text]jj, Wh and jj-final states, may be induced by the decays of a heavy boson W[Formula: see text] in the 1.8–2 TeV mass range, here modeled via the larger local group SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)[Formula: see text] in a nonlinear dynamical Higgs scenario. The W[Formula: see text]-production cross-section at the 13 TeV LHC is around 700–1200 fb. This framework also predicts a heavy Z[Formula: see text] boson with a mass of 2.5–4 TeV, and some decay channels testable in the LHC Run II. We determine the cross-section times branching fractions for the dijet, dilepton and top-pair Z[Formula: see text]-decay channels at the 13 TeV LHC around 2.3, 7.1, 70.2 fb, respectively, for M[Formula: see text] = 2.5 TeV, while one/two orders of magnitude smaller for the dijet/dilepton and top-pair modes at M[Formula: see text] = 4 TeV. Nonzero contributions from the effective operators, and the underlying Higgs sector of the model, will induce sizeable enhancement in the W[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text] and Zh-final states that could be probed in the future LHC Run II.
