The potential of pp → pggp → pGp process in scenarios of the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali (ADD) and Randall-Sundrum (RS) model at the LHC is examined, and 95% C.L. bounds on the model parameters are obtained. It is found that the sensitivity of the model parameters can be improved in the present colliders by using this reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), now close to completion at CERN will provide proton-proton collisions with unprecedented luminosity and energy. It will allow the Standard Model of physics to be explored in an energy range where new phenomena can be studied. This includes the validity of the Higgs mechanism, supersymmetry and CP violation. The machine presents a number of novel features discussed in detail below. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the techniques used to select online promising events at high energy and high luminosity colliders. After a brief introduction, explaining some general aspects of triggering, the more specific implementation options for well established machines like the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. An outlook on what difficulties need to be met is given when designing trigger systems at the Super Large Hadron Collider, or at the International Linear Collider. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We review the methods which have been proposed for measuring masses of new particles at the Large Hadron Collider paying particular attention to the kinematical techniques suitable for extracting mass information when invisible particles are expected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ALICE experiment, currently in the commissioning phase, will study nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC). We review the ALICE heavy-flavour physics program and present a selection of results on the expected performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anisotropic flow is recognized as one of the main observables providing information on the early dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. The large elliptic flow observed at the RHIC is considered to be evidence for almost perfect liquid behavior of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma produced in the collisions. In this report, we review our current understanding of this new state of matter and investigate the predictions for anisotropic flow at the LHC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
