SUMMARY:LHC Phenomenology for String Hunters
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Luis Anchordoqui\, University of Wisconsin - Milwauke
	e\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//posters/2010_Spring/HEES_09_Anch
	ordoqui.pdf\n\nPart of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract: We consider ext
	ensions of the standard model based on open strings ending on D-branes\, wi
	th gauge bosons due to strings attached to stacks of D-branes and chiral ma
	tter due to strings stretching between intersecting D-branes. Assuming that
	 the fundamental string mass scale is in the TeV range and the theory is we
	akly coupled\, we discuss possible signals of string physics at the LHC. In
	 such D-brane constructions\, the dominant contributions to full-fledged st
	ring amplitudes for all the common QCD parton subprocesses leading to dijet
	s are completely independent of the details of compactification\, and can b
	e evaluated in a parameter-free manner. We make use of these amplitudes eva
	luated near the first resonant pole to determine the discovery potential of
	 LHC for the first Regge excitations of the quark and gluon. Remarkably\, s
	tring scales as high as 6.8 TeV can be discovered with 100 fb^{-1} at \sqrt
	{s} = 14 TeV.
