Abstract

We propose a theoretical framework embedding a spontaneously broken $U(1)'$ symmetry in addition to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group, from which a very light $Z'$ state emerges, with both vector and axial (non-universal) couplings to fermions, able to explain the so-called Atomki anomaly, compliant with current measurements of the Anomalous Magnetic Moments (AMMs) of electron and muon as well as beam dump experiments while providing a distinctive $pp\to {\rm Higgs}\to Z'Z'\to 4l$ ($l=e,\mu$) signal at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where the `Higgs' label refers to the SM-like Higgs state discovered in 2012 or a lighter one. We finally show that the cross section for this process should be sufficiently large to afford one with significant sensitivity during Run 3 of the LHC.
