Notes on a Z′

• We reexamine anomaly free U(1) extensions of the standard model in the light of LHC Drell-Yan data, constraints from unitarity, and neutrino-electron scattering to put model-independent bounds in the parameter space populated by MZ′, the Z- Z′ mixing angle (αz ), and the extra U(1) effective gauge coupling (gx′ ). We propose a formalism where any model dependence is absorbed into these three parameters.
