Search for di-lepton resonances and Wprimes with CMS

The potential of the CMS experiment to discover neutral heavy resonances in the di-electron and di-muon channels as well as a heavy charged boson, $W^{\prime}$, has been studied considering an integrated luminosity of 100 pb$^{-1}$. This integrated luminosity was a realistic expectation of the size of an early LHC dataset circa summer 2008. Assuming Standard Model couplings, discovery of a di-lepton resonance was found to be possible up to a resonance mass of 1.5 TeV and up to approximately 1.2 TeV in the $Z^{\prime}$ $\psi$ model. Massive spin-2 gravitons that arise in the RS model were found to be discoverable in the di-muon channel up to mases of 1.5 TeV assuming a coupling strength k/m$_{Pl}$ = 0.1. The discovery of a heavy charged boson, decaying to an electron and anti-electron neutrino was found to be possible up to a mass of 2.2 TeV. In the absence of a signal, exclusion was found to be possible up to approximately 2.5 TeV.
