Production of a Z boson and a photon via a Randall-Sundrum-type graviton at the Large Hadron Collider

Abstract

In extra dimensional models with Kaluza-Klein graviton states that are well separated in mass, such states may be observed as resonances in collider experiments. We extend previous works on such scenarios by considering the one-loop resonant production of a Z boson in association with a photon. We find the production rate to be negligible in conservative scenarios, and sufficiently small for observation to be very difficult even for reasonable luminosity in less conservative scenarios.
