The new gauge boson Z{\textquoteright} 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{\textquoteright} signal from the Standard Model background events. The di-muon invariant masses in the 4 $\mu$events are used to extract the Z{\textquoteright} resonance signature. No significant excess of events is observed over the predicted background. Upper limits at a 95{\%} confidence level on the Z{\textquoteright} production cross-section times the decay branching fraction of pp -> Z{\textquoteright} $\mu$$\mu$-> 4 $\mu$are set from 0.31 to 4.3 fb for the Z{\textquoteright} mass ranging from 5 to 81 GeV. The corresponding common coupling strengths, g(Z{\textquoteright}), of the Z{\textquoteright} boson to the second and third generation leptons above 0.003 -- 0.2 have been excluded.", optnote="WOS:001061852600001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5690), last updated on Fri, 13 Oct 2023 12:48:36 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2023)090", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.09342", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2023)090", language="English" }
