Many new physics models predict the existence of an extra neutral gauge boson (${Z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$). Inspired by the recent development in the Higgs search, we study the properties of ${Z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ via the Higgs and $Z$-boson associated production. The couplings of ${Z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ to quarks can be investigated through the $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{Z}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}ZH\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{l}^{+}{l}^{\ensuremath{-}}b\overline{b}$ process, which …
