Description
Many extensions of the standard model suggest the possible existence of a heavy Z' gauge boson at the TeV scale or below. In this talk I discuss recent work on the implications of a possible extended U(1)' gauge symmetry, including enhanced prospects for electroweak baryogenesis, a non-standard Higgs sector very different from the MSSM, and FCNC implications relevant to rare B decays.
