Title: “Search for High Mass Resonances with Dilepton Final States using the CMS detector at the LHC”


Abstract:

Heavy di-lepton resonances are predicted in theoretical models such as extra gauge bosons (Z') or 
as Kaluza-Klein graviton excitations (G_KK) in the Randall-Sandrum model. A search for narrow 
resonances at high mass in the di-muon and di-electron channels performed by the CMS experiment 
at CERN LHC will be presented, focusing on the di-electron analysis worked on by RAL PPD.
