Description

The talk presents a search for a new leptophilic vector boson Z' decaying into the four-muon final state using the data collected by ATLAS detector in the year 2015-2018. A moderate excess of 4𝜇 events with a 𝜇+𝜇− pair is the experimental signature for this study. The gauge boson Z' is predicted by the highly motivated gauged 𝐿𝜇−𝐿𝜏 model, which is the simplest extension of the Standard Model (SM). The model addresses the observed g-2 of the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment and the B physics anomalies. At the same time, the model probes physics and cosmology outstanding questions related to the dark matter and neutrino mass.
