Z boson pair production at the LHC to ${\cal O}(α_s)$ in TeV scale gravity models
The first results on next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of two Z bosons, in hadronic collisions in the large extra dimension ADD model are presented. Various kinematical distributions are obtained to order $α_s$ in QCD by taking into account all the parton level subprocesses. We estimate the impact of the QCD corrections on various observables and find that they are significant. We also show the reduction in factorisation scale uncertainity when ${\cal O}(α_s)$ effects are included.
