Description
We propose a new type of Z polarization asymmetry in bottom-Z production at LHC that should be realistically measurable and would provide the determination of the so-called Ab parameter, whose available measured value still appears to be in disagreement with the Standard Model prediction. This polarization can be measured independently of a possible existence of Supersymmetry. If Supersymmetry is found, a second polarization, i.e. the top longitudinal polarization in top-charged Higgs production, would neatly identify the tanβ parameter. In this case, the value of Ab should be in agreement with the Standard Model. If Supersymmetry does not exist, a residual disagreement of Ab from the Standard Model prediction would be a clean signal of New Physics of "non Supersymmetric" origin.
