Search for fermiophobic gauge boson in the dilepton channel with ATLAS, using ATLAS Open Data, sqrt(s)=13 TeV

Models with extra gauge symmetry were well motivated extensions of the Standard Model. In this paper, we search for an excess of events in search of a heavy neutral gauge boson Z which is fermiophobic. We are looking at llbb final states where the dilepton channel provides the most stringent constraint on the fermiophobic (FB) model. Since Z is fermiophobic, the production of such particles can occur via vector boson fusion, with subsequent decays into WW or Zh. We observe no significant excess of events over the background-only hypothesis and are able to put the constraint on efficiency times cross-section.
