Spin identification of heavy nonstandard bosons in dilepton and diphoton events at the LHC
Abstract
New Physics scenarios generally predict the existence of very heavy quantum states that can possibly manifest themselves as peaks in the cross sections at the LHC. For values of the parameters in certain domains, different nonstandard models can generate peaks with the same mass and same number of events. In this case, the spin determination of a peak, requiring the angular analysis of the events, becomes crucial in order to identify the relevant nonstandard source. We here discuss, using a particularly suitable symmetrically integrated angular asymmetry applied to Drell-Yan dilepton and diphoton events at LHC, the identification reach on the exchanges in these reactions of the following heavy bosons: spin-2 Randall-Sundrum graviton excitations; spin-1 heavy neutral gauge bosons Z' and spin-0 SUSY R-parity violating sneutrinos.
