The most likely spin assignments of the recently discovered 126 GeV resonanceare spin 0 or 2. In order to distinguish the two, we construct an effectiveLagrangian model which comprises interactions of a spin-2 electroweak singletor triplet state with the SM gauge bosons. Within this model, cross sectionsand differential distributions are calculated and implemented within the MonteCarlo program VBFNLO, which simulates vector-boson-fusion processes at hadroncolliders at NLO QCD accuracy. We study the phenomenology of spin-2 resonancesproduced in vector-boson-fusion processes at the LHC. Specifically, we considerlight Higgs-like spin-2 resonances decaying into two photons and show howangular distributions allow us to distinguish between a Standard Model Higgsand a spin-2 resonance. We also investigate the characteristics of heavy spin-2resonances which decay into two weak gauge bosons, leading to a four-leptonfinal state.
