Abstract
In models with an extra SU(2) R gauge group and an extended scalar sector, the cascade decays of the W ′ boson can provide various multiboson signals. In particular, diboson decays W ′ → W Z can be suppressed while W ′ → W ZX, with X one of the scalars present in the model, can reach branching ratios around 4%. We discuss these multiboson signals focusing on possible interpretations of the ATLAS excess in fat jet pair production.
