I will present a simple effective Lagrangian
description of warped extra-dimensional theories
which includes the Standard Model particles and the
first TeV-scale excitations.
This economical approach to warped/composite theories
greatly simplifies their phenomenological investigation and
collider searches.

Heavy quarks which mix with the Standard Model states appear in many new
physics scenarios. We study signatures of such generic heavy quarks at hadron
colliders as a function of their mass and mixing. We explore the interesting
channel of single production of heavy quarks via electroweak processes. This
channel has improved sensitivity compared to the kinematically suppressed
QCD...

We study the production and decay of Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons at
the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in the framework of a warped extra
dimension in which the Standard Model (SM) fields propagate. Such a
scenario can provide solutions to both the Planck-weak hierarchy
problem and the flavor puzzle of the SM.
In this scenario, the
production via $q \bar{q}$ annihilation and decays to the...

The best-studied version of the RS1 model has all the Standard Model particles
confined to the TeV brane. However, recent variants have the Standard Model fermions
and gauge bosons located in the bulk five-dimensional spacetime. We study the
potential reach of the LHC in searching for the lightest KK partner of the graviton
in the most promising such models in which the right-handed top is...

In many Randall-Sundrum constructions a large fraction of the new physics shows up as
resonances in the t-tbar spectrum. These tops are produced at high invariant mass and
p_T, and hence the decay products are highly collimated. This presents interesting
challenges for observation. We show that, not only can these resonances be observed,
but studies of their properties can reveal much...
