| Analysis of High Mass Di-Photon Events and Search for Randall-Sundrum Gravitons |
|
This Run II analysis searches for high mass di-photon states. We examine the di-photon dataset (Triggers: diphoton E_T > 12 or 18 GeV, and photon E_T > 50 or 70) requiring either two central photons or one central and one plug photon, both with E_T > 15 GeV. We examine events with an invariant mass greater than 30 GeV/c^2. The mass spectrum of the di-photon events is binned according to detector resolution and compared to background expectations. Standard Model di-photon production is estimated with the diphox NLO Monte Carlo program. Non-photon contribution, jets misidentified as photons, is estimated from the data via a sideband method. The total a prioribackground compares well to the data. The limits are determined by a fit to the signal mass distribution.
The search for new particles decaying to di-photon final states uses the
Randall-Sundrum model to express sensitivity to Kaluza-Klein graviton
resonances. Such resonances are narrower than the CDF detector resolution.
