摘要： We study the properties of g 1 , the first excited state of the gluon in representative variants of the Randall Sundrum model with the Standard Model fields in the bulk. We find that measurements of the coupling to light quarks (from the inclusive cross-section for pp → g 1 → tt), the coupling to bottom quarks (from the rate of pp → g 1 b), as well as the overall width, can provide powerful discriminants between the models. In models with large brane kinetic terms, the g 1 resonance can even potentially be discovered decaying into dijets against the large QCD background. We also derive bounds based on existing Tevatron searches for resonant tt production and find that they require Mg 1 & 950 GeV. In addition we explore the pattern of interference between the g 1 signal and the non-resonant SM background, defining an asymmetry parameter for the invariant mass distribution. The interference probes the relative signs of the couplings of the g 1 to light quark pairs and to tt, and thus provides an indication that the top is localized on the other side of the extra dimension from the light quarks, as is typical in the RS framework.
