Search for Randall-Sundrum Gravitons in the Diphoton Final State

This note discusses the possibility of probing a warped extra dimension with the CMS detector, through a search for Randall-Sundrum graviton excitations in the diphoton decay channel. This search utilizes the results of the analogous search for large extra dimensions in the diphoton decay of virtual KK gravitons, to place limits on the parameters of the Randall-Sundrum model of extra dimensions and to probe the possible discovery of gravitons. We focus on the reach with 100\pbinv\ of 10\TeV\ proton-proton collision data at the Large Hadron Collider.
