Abstract

We investigate the process \rreeG at the future International Linear Collider(ILC), where G_n is the Kaluza-Klein graviton in the Large Extra Dimension Model. When the fundamental energy scale is of a few TeV{\rm TeV}, the cross section of this process can reach several hundred fb at a photon-photon collider with s=5001000GeV\sqrt{s}=500 \sim 1000 GeV, and the cross section in J=2 polarized photon collision mode is much larger than that in J=0 polarized photon collision mode. We present strategies to distinguish the graviton signal from numerous SM backgrounds, and find that the graviton signal with extra dimensions δ=3\delta=3 can be detected when MS2.67(1.40)TeV{\rm M_S} \le 2.67(1.40) {\rm TeV} and γγ\gamma \gamma c.m.s. energy s=1000(500)GeV\sqrt{s}=1000(500) {\rm GeV} in unpolarized photon collision mode, while the detecting upper limit can be increased to 2.79(1.44) TeV{\rm TeV} in ++ - (λ1=1\lambda_1=1, λ2=1\lambda_2=-1) polarized photon collision mode(with photon polarization efficiency Pγ=0.9P_{\gamma}=0.9).
