Constraints on Randall-Sundrum model from top-antitop production at the LHC

Dr. Yaser Ayazi from IPM

 
 

Abstract: We study the top pair production cross section at the LHC in the context of Randall-Sundrum model including the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited gravitons. It is shown that the recent measurement of the cross section of this process at the LHC restricts the parameter space in Randall-Sundrum (RS) model considerably. We show that the coupling parameter (k¯Mpl) is excluded by this measurement from 0.03 to 0.22 depending on the mass of first KK excited graviton (m1). We also study the effect of KK excitations on the spin correlation of the top pairs. It is shown that the spin asymmetry in tˉt events is sensitive to the RS model parameters with a reasonable choice of model parameters.
