Abstract
Motivated by ATLAS diboson excess around 2 TeV, we investigate a phenomenology of spin-1 resonances in a model where electroweak sector in the SM is weakly coupled to strong dynamics. The spin-1 resonances, W′ and Z′, are introduced as effective degrees of freedom of the dynamical sector. We explore several theoretical constraints by investigating the scalar potential of the model as well as the current bounds from the LHC and precision measurements. It is found that the main decay modes are V′ → VV and V′ → Vh, and the V′ width is narrow enough so that the ATLAS diboson excess can be explained. In order to investigate future prospects, we also perform collider simulations at \( \sqrt{s}=13 \) TeV LHC, and obtain a model independent expected exclusion limit for σ(pp → W′ → WZ → JJ). We find a parameter space where the diboson excess can be∫ explained, and are within a reach of the LHC at \( {\displaystyle \int dt\mathrm{\mathcal{L}}=10\;{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}} \) and \( \sqrt{s}=13 \) TeV.
