Vector triplets at the LHC

Abstract

Several popular extensions of the Standard Model predict extra vector fields that transform as triplets under the gauge group SU(2)L. These multiplets contain Z’ and W’ bosons, with masses and couplings related by gauge invariance. We review some model-independent results about these new vector bosons, with emphasis on di-lepton and lepton-plus-missing-energy signals at the LHC.
