Abstract

We study the top pair production cross section at the LHC in the context of Randall-Sundrum model including the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited gravitons. It is shown that the recent measurement of the cross section of this process at the LHC restricts the parameter space in Randall-Sundrum (RS) model considerably. We show that the coupling parameter (kMˉpl\frac{k}{\bar{M}_{pl}}) is excluded by this measurement from 0.03 to 0.22 depending on the mass of first KK excited graviton (m1m_1). We also study the effect of KK excitations on the spin correlation of the top pairs. It is shown that the spin asymmetry in ttˉt\bar{t} events is sensitive to the RS model parameters with a reasonable choice of model parameters.
