Neutral heavy gauge bosons have characteristic vector and axial-vector couplings to quarks and leptons. The hadronic process pp{→}(γ*,Z0*,. . .)+...{→}l^-{l}⁺$+..., where l=e,{μ},{τ}, exhibits characteristic forward-backward asymmetries whenever the lepton pair is not at rest in the pp center of mass. These asymmetries can be used to probe the couplings of a new boson. Attention is paid to such asymmetries for dilepton masses in the interference region between the new boson and the Z⁰.
