Warped Graviton "Z + Missing Energy" Signal at Hadron Colliders
arXiv:1403.3399 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.89.096007
Abstract
We examine the reach at hadron colliders for the lightest warped Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton G_1 in the Z(->l+l-) Z(->nu nu) channel, l=e,mu, within Randall-Sundrum models of hierarchy and flavor where the Standard Model gauge fields and fermions propagate in the 5D bulk. The reconstructed Z and the accompanying large missing energy allow for an efficient suppression of backgrounds. For reasonable parameters, a ~2(2.6) TeV G_1 can be discovered at 5 sigma with 300 /fb (3 /ab) of 14 TeV LHC data via our "Z + missing energy" signal. Using this signal, the discovery reach for G_1 at a future 100 TeV pp collider is estimated to be as high as ~10 TeV. We discuss mass determination of the singly produced G_1, using the energy distribution of its visible (Z -> l+l-) decay product, by adapting a recently proposed method. Based on our analysis, a mass measurement at the ~5% level with ~3 /ab of the 14 TeV LHC data can be feasible.
