Abstract
We explore the phenomenological implications at colliders for the existence of higher-curvature gravity as extensions to both the Randall-Sundrum(RS) and Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali(ADD) scenarios. Such terms are expected to arise on rather general grounds from ultraviolet completions of General Relativity, e.g., from string theory. In the Randall-Sundrum model these terms shift the mass spectrum and couplings of the graviton tower. In the case of ADD they can lead to a threshold for the production of long-lived black holes.
