Abstract
The signatures for horizontal-gauge-boson production at a s=40-TeV hadronic collider are studied. Production and decay of the boson leads to very massive lepton pairs (such as or) in an otherwise quiet event, providing a clean signature. Backgrounds are studied with the Lund Monte Carlo model. The dominant background comes from W+W- pairs, but there is good separation of the signal from the background. The identification of may be important for horizontal bosons; we note that the path lengths could be many tens of centimeters, suggesting new possibilities for their identification. © 1985 The American Physical Society.
