Kaluza-Klein gravitons at the LHC and in extensive air showers

Abstract

The small curvature option of the Randall-Sundrum model with two branes is considered which has almost continuous spectrum of low-mass Kaluza-Klein gravitons. It is shown that gravity effects related with these excitations can be detected in double diffractive events at the LHC and in inclined air showers induced by interactions of cosmic neutrinos with atmospheric nucleons at ultra-high energies.
