Probing leptonic interactions of a family-nonuniversal Z′ boson
We explore a Z′ boson with family-nonuniversal couplings to charged leptons. The general effect of Z-Z′ mixing, of both kinetic and mass types, is included in the analysis. Adopting a model-independent approach, ...

Constraining nonstandard neutrino-electron interactions due to a new light spin-1 boson
We consider nonstandard interactions of neutrinos with electrons arising from a new light spin-1 particle with mass of tens of GeV or lower and couplings to the neutrinos and electron. This boson is not necess...
