The new gauge boson Z' is predicted by L-mu - L-tau models to address observed phenomena that can not be explained by the Standard Model. The search examines the four-muon (4 mu) final state, using a deep learning neural network classifier to separate the Z' signal from the Standard Model background events. The di-muon invariant masses in the 4 mu events are used to extract the Z' resonance signature. No significant excess of events is observed over the predicted background. Upper limits at a 95% confidence level on the Z' production cross-section times the decay branching fraction of pp -> Z' mu mu -> 4 mu are set from 0.31 to 4.3 fb for the Z' mass ranging from 5 to 81 GeV. The corresponding common coupling strengths, g(Z'), of the Z' boson to the second and third generation leptons above 0.003 - 0.2 have been excluded.L-TAU, L-MU, DISTRIBUTIONS, PHYSICSSearch for a new Z? gauge boson in 4? events with the ATLAS experimentArticle
