Testing string theory at LHC?

<!--HTML-->A theory with such mathematical beauty cannot be wrong: this is one of the main arguments in favour of string theory, which unifies all known physical theories of fundamental interactions in a single coherent description of the universe. But no one has ever observed strings, not even indirectly, nor the space of extra dimensions where they live. However there are good reasons to believe that the 'hidden' dimensions of string theory may be much larger than what we thought in the past and that they may be within experimental reach in the near future - together with the strings themselves. In my talk, I will give an elementary introduction of string theory and describe the main experimental predictions.<BR><BR><I>Organiser(s): Jasper Kirkby / EP Division</I><BR><BR><I>Note: Tea & coffee will be served at 16.00 hrs.</I>
