Extra-Dimensional Processes

Scenarios with extra dimensions (ED) allow a multitude of processes. Currently three different categories of processes are implemented. The first involves the production of excited Kaluza Klein states within so-called Randall-Sundrum (RS) scenarios, the second is related to resonance production in TeV-1 sized extra dimensions and the third relates to phenomena from large extra dimensions (LED). Due to the close relation between the LED model and a so-called unparticle model, similar unparticle processes are also kept in this section.

Randall-Sundrum Resonances, production processes

The graviton (G*) and gluon (KKgluon*) resonance states are assigned PDG code 5100039 and 5100021 respectively. The G* processes are described in [Bij01] and the KKgluon* process in [Ask11]. Decays into fermion and boson pairs are handled with the correct angular distributions, while subsequent decays are handled isotropically.

There are two lowest-order processes that together normally should be sufficient for a simulation of G^* production.

ExtraDimensionsG*:all On Off   (default = off)
Common switch for the group of lowest-order G^* production processes, i.e. the two ones below.

ExtraDimensionsG*:gg2G* On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings g g → G^*. Code 5001.

ExtraDimensionsG*:ffbar2G* On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings f fbar → G^*. Code 5002.

In addition there are three first-order processes included. These are of less interest, but can be used for dedicated studies of the high-pT tail of G^* production. As usual, it would be double counting to include the lowest-order and first-order processes simultaneously. Therefore the latter ones are not included with the ExtraDimensionsG*:all = on option. In this set of processes all decay angles are assumed isotropic.

ExtraDimensionsG*:gg2G*g On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings g g → G^* g. Code 5003.

ExtraDimensionsG*:qg2G*q On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings q g → G^* q. Code 5004.

ExtraDimensionsG*:qqbar2G*g On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings q qbar → G^* g. Code 5005.

There is also one process for the production of a gluon resonance.

ExtraDimensionsG*:qqbar2KKgluon* On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings q qbar → g^*/KKgluon^*. Code 5006.

Randall-Sundrum Resonances, parameters

In the above scenario the main free parameters are the masses, which are set as usual. In addition there are the following coupling parameters. The coupling kappaMG follows the conventions in [Bij01], where as the flavour dependent couplings follow the conventions used in [Dav01].

ExtraDimensionsG*:SMinBulk On Off   (default = off)
Parameter to choose between the two scenarios: off, SM on the TeV brane (common kappaMG coupling); on, SM in the ED bulk (flavour dependent couplings). This parameter is only relevant for the lowest-order graviton (G*) processes, where as the first-order processes corresponds to the off scenario.

ExtraDimensionsG*:VLVL On Off   (default = on)
Parameter to specify Z/W coupling scenario: off, usual Z/W boson couplings; on, coupling only to longitudinal Z/W bosons. In both cases the GZZ and GWW values are used and this parameter is only relevant when SMinBulk = on. The formulas for longitudinal bosons should be appropriate up to O(m_V/E_V) corrections.

ExtraDimensionsG*:kappaMG   (default = 0.054; minimum = 0.0)

Is kappa m_G* = sqrt(2) x_1 k / Mbar_Pl, where x_1 = 3.83 is the first zero of the J_1 Bessel function and Mbar_Pl is the modified Planck mass. In width and cross section calculations, kappa is fixed by the on-shell G^* mass and kappaMG, i.e. kappaMG scales with the off-shell G^* mass.

Large Extra Dimensions, production processes

The LED graviton, where the KK-modes normally are summed and do not give rise to phenomena individually, is assigned PDG code 5000039. The graviton emission and virtual graviton exchange processes use the same implementation as the corresponding unparticle processes, which are all described in [Ask10]. It is also possible to generate monojet events from scalar graviton emission as described in [Azu05], by turning on the option GravScalar.

Note: As discussed in [Ask09], for the graviton or unparticle emission processes the underlying Breit-Wigner mass distribution should be matched to the graviton mass spectrum in order to achieve an optimal MC efficiency.

The following lowest order graviton emission processes are available.

ExtraDimensionsLED:monojet On Off   (default = off)
Common switch for the group of lowest-order G jet emission processes, i.e. the three ones below.

ExtraDimensionsLED:gg2Gg On Off   (default = off)

The following LED processes with virtual graviton exchange are available.

ExtraDimensionsLED:ffbar2gammagamma On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings f fbar → (LED G*) → gamma gamma. If the graviton contribution is zero, the results corresponds to the SM contribution, i.e. equivalent to PromptPhoton:ffbar2gammagamma. Code 5026.

ExtraDimensionsLED:gg2llbar On Off   (default = off)
Scatterings g g → (LED G*) → l l. Code 5029.

Dijet production including graviton exchange is also available, using the same effective theory approach as the LED G exchange processes above or including more detailed amplitudes in accordance with [Fra11]. In case of the latter, the value of LambdaT is used as the value of the cut-off scale Lambda. For this reason the dijet processes only relates to the LED model and no unparticle versions are available. The processes are grouped together like their HardQCD equivalents and should therefore converge to the same results in the limit of an insignificant graviton contribution.

Warning: These LED dijets processes are still being validated.

Unparticles, production processes

As mentioned above, the similar unparticle and graviton processes share the same implementations. The unparticle processes, however, only use the dedicated unparticle parameters below. The unparticle is also assigned the PDG code 5000039 and is therefore called Graviton in the event record. The graviton and unparticle emission as well as virtual graviton and unparticle exchange processes are described in [Ask10].

Note: As discussed in [Ask09], for the graviton or unparticle emission processes the underlying Breit-Wigner mass distribution should be matched to the graviton mass spectrum in order to achieve an optimal MC efficiency.
