Tensor Reggeons from Warped Space at the LHC

Understand

The hierarchy problem can be addressed by extending the four-dimensional space-time to include an extra compact spatial dimension with non-trivial "warped" metric, as first suggested by Randall and Sundrum.

• If the Randall-Sundrum framework is realized in string theory, the effective value of the string scale in the vicinity of the infrared boundary should be in the TeV domain.
• The most attractive models of this type embed the Standard Model particles as zero-modes of five-dimensional fields.
• In such models, Regge excitations of the Standard Model states should appear around the TeV scale.
