We customize the simulation code Fully Exclusive W, Z Production to study Z' production at the LHC for both root s = 8 TeV and 14 TeV. Using the results of our simulation for several standard benchmark Z' models, we derive a semiempirical expression for the differential cross section that permits the determination of Z' couplings in a model-independent manner. We evaluate cross sections and other observables for large classes of models, including the common E-6, left-right and B - L models, as a function of model parameters. We also consider a hidden sector Z' that couples to standard model fermions via kinetic and mass mixing and serves as a mediator of isospin-violating interactions with dark matter. We combine the results of LHC Z' searches and dark matter direct detection experiments with global electroweak data to obtain mass-dependent constraints on the model parameters.
