Abstract

The search for heavy <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:msup><a:mi>W</a:mi><a:mo>′</a:mo></a:msup></a:math> bosons in their decay modes to a lepton and a heavy neutrino offers a promising avenue for probing new physics beyond the Standard Model. This work focuses on such a signature with an energetic lepton plus a fat jet, originating from the heavy neutrino and containing a lepton. We have employed the jet substructure techniques to isolate the embedded lepton as a subjet of the fat jet. The lepton subjet fraction (<c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mi>L</c:mi><c:mi>S</c:mi><c:mi>F</c:mi></c:math>) and lepton mass drop (<e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mi>L</e:mi><e:mi>M</e:mi><e:mi>D</e:mi></e:math>) variables constructed from the lepton subjet help in separating the signal region from the background. We further study the polarization properties of the <g:math xmlns:g="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><g:msup><g:mi>W</g:mi><g:mo>′</g:mo></g:msup></g:math> coupling to the lepton and heavy neutrino through the decay products of the neutrino. Instead of relying on a specific model, we employ generic couplings and explore the discrimination power.
