Abstract

We examine how the abilities of an SDC-like detector to discover and identify the origin of a new neutral gauge boson are affected by Z₁-Z₂ mixing and by variations in detector parameters such as lepton pair mass resolution, particle identification efficiency, and rapidity coverage. Also examined is the sensitivity of these results to variations in structure function uncertainties and uncertainties in the machine integrated luminosity. Such considerations are of importance when dealing with the issues of detector descoping and design.
