Abstract

We evaluate the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to charged heavy vector boson production followed by their decays to W^± Z⁰. We include the correlated decays of the gauge bosons to leptonic final states. With an integrated luminosity of 10⁵ pb^-1, charged technirhos in the minimal SU(N)_TC model for N≥ 7 yield signals with a significance larger than 5. In more general models, we explore the range of parameter space to which LHC experiments will be sensitive. Rapidity correlations exhibiting enhanced longitudinal gauge boson pair production are also shown.
