New neutral gauge bosons, Z',s, are predicted by many models of
physics beyond the Standard electroweak theory. It is possible
that a Z' would be discovered early in the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) program. The next step would be to measure its properties
to identify the underlying theory that gave rise to the Z'. We
here discuss in this context the foreseeable sensitivity to
Z's of fermion-pair production observables at an e+e-
linear collider, especially as regards the potential of
distinguishing different Z' models once such deviations
are observed.
Key words:
polarized e+e- collisions, models beyond the
standard model
