Abstract

The main focus of this research is to investigate the signature of extra dimension models which provide an elegant explanation for the hierarchy problem between the gravitational and electroweak scales. In particular, the student will study the production of graviton resonances in the Randall-Sundrum model where the final states involve hadrons from the graviton decai in a pair of Gauge bosons (WW and ZZ).
