Abstract
We explore the capabilities of the LHC and the Linear
Collider(LC) to distinguish the production of Kaluza-Klein(KK)
excitations from an ordinary Z' within the context of theories with
TeV scale extra dimensions. At the LHC, these states are directly
produced in the Drell-Yan channel while at the LC the effects of their
exchanges are indirectly felt as new contact interactions in processes
such as e+e−→f
. While we demonstrate that the LC is
somewhat more capable at KK/Z' differentiation than is the LHC, the
simplest LC analysis relies upon the LHC data for the resonance mass
as an important necessary input.
