Searching for and Identifying Narrow Graviton Resonances with Center-Edge Asymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider.
I. A. Serenkova and A. A. Pankov

Heavy resonances at high mass are predicted in the framework of the Randall and Sundrum model with only one extra dimension. The ability of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to detect massive Kaluza-Klein excitations of gravitons and determine their spin is discussed. We study a possibility of using the center-edge asymmetry to distinguish spin-2 Kaluza-Klein graviton production from other new heavy resonances described by spin-1 in lepton pair production at the LHC.
Key words: lepton-pair production, graviton spin-2 exchange effects, extra dimensions
