Low Scale Gravity Signatures in ATLAS

The ATLAS detector may reveal in the LHC collisions signatures of extra dimensional models which predict quantum gravity at the TeV scale. One of the most dramatic consequences of such models is the copious production of micro blackholes. Micro blackholes can yield distinct signatures with large multiplicity and large energy release in the ATLAS detector. Extra dimensional models also predict the existence of Kaluza-Klein partners of SM gauge bosons, such as the excited graviton and gluon. These particles can be searched for in their two-body decays. The emerging final state particles are highly energetic, thus requiring novel reconstruction techniques, in particular in the heavy quark (t, b) channels. I will summarize the current status of the low scale gravity studies in ATLAS with example signatures.
