Diphoton Production at Hadron Colliders and New Contact Interactions
Thomas G. Rizzo
Abstract
We explore the capability of the Tevatron and LHC to place limits on the possible existence of flavor-independent q q γγ contact interactions which can lead to an excess of diphoton events with large invariant masses. Assuming no departure from the Standard Model is observed, we show that the Tevatron will eventually be able to place a lower bound of 0.5-0.6 TeV on the scale associated with this new contact interaction. At the LHC, scales as large as 3-6 TeV may be probed with suitable detector cuts and an integrated luminosity of 100 fb-1.
