Description
A vector resonance decaying to dijets could be discovered at the 14 TeV run of the LHC. Measurements available after the discovery of the resonance; namely, the dijet cross section, mass and width of the resonance, can determine its color structure via a method using the color discriminant variable. This talk illustrates that the measurements of the resonance's heavy flavor decays to top and bottom quark pairs help distinguish coloron and leptophobic Z' with flavor non-universal couplings to quarks. The method works for a large region of parameter space despite the fact that couplings to light quarks are generally inaccessible to experiments, and that the Z' could have non-Standard invisible decays.
