Distinguishing Kaluza-Klein Resonances From a $Z^{\prime }$ in Drell-Yan Processes at the LHC

Abstract

We explore the capability of the LHC to distinguish the production of Kaluza-Klein(KK) excitations in Drell-Yan collisions from an ordinary $Z^{\prime }$ at the LHC in the case of one extra dimension with the fermions localized at the orbifold fixed points. In particular, we demonstrate that this capability is dependent on both the mass of the KK state as well as whether or not the quarks and leptons lie at the same fixed points.
