Abstract

Extended gauge models and the Randall-Sundrum model with extra-dimension predict the existence of TeV-mass resonances. The LHC potential for a five sigma level discovery was investigated as described in this document. Final states containing large invariant mass di-muons from Z^′ and the RS1 graviton were studied. The possibility of discriminating between different Z^′ model by measuring the muon forward-backward asymmetry was investigated. The determination of the spin of the resonance is also discussed.
