Discovery potential of the LHC for extended gauge symmetries
Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model are based on extended gauge symmetries and predict the existence of new heavy particles, often at the TeV scale. Such particles include heavy W and Z bosons, doubly charged higgses, heavy majorana neutrinos, leptoquarks and heavy fermions. The discovery potential of the LHC, which will start in 2008, for various particles predicted in extended gauge theories will be described in this paper.
