Abstract
We present a tool to compute the sensitivity of the Future Circular Electron-Positron Collider (FCC-ee) to the interactions of new, heavy particles via publicly available extensions to the and computer programs. We parametrize new particles’ effects without any flavor assumptions and take into account the projected experimental and correlated theoretical uncertainties of various electroweak and Higgs observables at the proposed collider. We illustrate a use of the tool by estimating the sensitivity of the FCC-ee to a Z ′ model with flavor-specific couplings, which explains anomalies inferred from present-day measurements and Standard Model predictions of observables that involve the b → s ℓ + ℓ − transition.Keywords
