Description

At the LHC bunched proton proton collisions will occur at a centre of mass energy of 14 TeV, an order of magnitude greater than previously available. It has been shown that models predicting new heavy resonances decaying to electron-positron pairs may be detectable with a small data sample given the predicted clean event signature and low background. A search for such high mass events presents one of the earliest opportunities to search for new physics at this energy frontier.
