Diphoton events at the LHC can provide clean signals of heavy neutral quantum states predicted by New Physics models. These non-standard particles would manifest themselves by s-channel peaks in inclusive distributions in the diphoton invariant mass. Once discovered, the quantum numbers of such a diphoton resonance need to be determined in order to identify the associated non-standard physics, in the first place the spin by an angular analysis of the events. We here discuss this problem by comparing, as competing sources of a diphoton resonance, the spin-2 Randall-Sundrum graviton excitation and a spin-0 scalar exchange, by means of a specific angular-integrated asymmetry predicted theoretically at next-to-leading order in QCD. For the LHC with nominal energy of 14 TeV and integrated luminosity 100 fb-1, we find that graviton exchange could be discriminated against the scalar one with same mass MR and events rate, up to MR≃3.2TeV.
