Discovery and Identification of W' and Z' in SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) Models at the LHC
We explore the discovery potential of W' and Z' boson searches for various
SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), after taking
into account the constraints from low energy precision measurements and direct
searches at both the Tevatron (1.96 TeV) and the LHC (7 TeV). In such models,
the W' and Z' bosons emerge after the electroweak symmetry is spontaneously
broken. Two patterns of the symmetry breaking are considered in this work: one
is SU(2)_L x SU(2)_2 x U(1)_X to SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y (BP-I), another is SU(2)_1 x
SU(2)_2 x U(1)_Y to SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y (BP-II). Examining the single production
channel of W' and Z' with their subsequent leptonic decays, we find that the
probability of detecting W' and Z' bosons in the considered models at the LHC
(with 14 TeV) is highly limited by the low energy precision data constraints.
We show that observing Z' alone, without seeing a W', does not rule out new
physics models with non-Abelian gauge extension, such as the phobic models in
BP-I. Models in BP-II would predict the discovery of degenerate W' and Z'
bosons at the LHC.Comment: 29 pages, including 11 figures, 3 tables, added references for

Analysis on the vehicle-bridge coupled vibrations of long-span cable-stayed bridge based on multiscale model
The paper introduces the principals and methods of universal multiscale modeling, and simply verifies them. It also derives the vibration equations of the bridge and the vehicles, and programs the universal program for analyzing two-axle vehicle-bridge coupled vibration via Ansys and Matlab software based on Newmark-β method. It proposes the universal method for analyzing vehicle-bridge coupled vibrations of long-span cable-stayed bridge based on multiscale model, and takes a single pylon cable-stayed bridge as an example to analyze and verify it
