TL;DR

This paper calculates the polarized production cross sections of spin-two gauge bosons in fermion pair annihilation and compares their angular dependence with similar processes in QED, QCD, and Electroweak theory.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed calculation of polarized cross sections for spin-two gauge bosons and compares their angular behavior with analogous processes in other fundamental interactions.

Findings

Polarized cross sections for spin-two gauge boson production are derived.

Angular dependence of these cross sections is characterized and compared.

Results highlight differences and similarities with photon, gluon, and W-boson production.

Abstract

We considered spin-two gauge boson production in the fermion pair annihilation process and calculated the polarized cross sections for each set of helicity orientations of initial and final particles. The angular dependence of these cross sections is compared with the similar annihilation cross sections in QED with two photons in the final state, with two gluons in QCD and W-pair in Electroweak theory.
