We discuss appearance at the LHC energies of the geometric phase, which in its turn can reflect a presence of the non-factorizable background geometry proposed in the RS-scenario with extra spatial dimensions.
The problems linked with the extraction of the basic parameters of the hadron elastic scattering amplitude at the LHC are explored. It is shown that one should take into account the saturation regime which will lead to new effects at the…

Absence of the signals of the physics beyond the Standard Model at the available LHC energies means that the several of cosmic data peculiarities could be associated with an emergency of the new scattering mode. This reflective scattering…
