Abstract: (APS)
We study the possibility of testing some generic properties of brane world scenarios at the LHC. In particular, we pay attention to Kaluza-Klein graviton and branon production. Both signals can be dominant depending on the value of the brane tension. We analyze the differences between these two signatures. Finally, we use recent data in the single photon channel from the ATLAS Collaboration to constrain the parameter space of both phenomenologies.
