Description
We will discuss the new dominant bounds that can be derived on the coefficient of the effective operator generated by tree-level graviton exchange in large extra dimensions from pp -> jj data at LHC: M_T > 2.1TeV (ATLAS after 3.1/pb of integrated luminosity), M_T > 3.4 TeV (CMS after 36/pb). We clarify the role of on-shell graviton exchange and compare the full graviton amplitude to data, setting bounds on the fundamental quantum-gravity scale.
