Search for TeV-scale gravity signatures in final states with leptons and jets with the ATLAS detector at the center of mass energy = 8 TeV

Theories postulating extra spatial dimensions into which the gravitational field can propagate provide interesting extensions to the Standard Model addressing the hierarchy problem. These frameworks predict TeV-scale gravity signatures, such as black hole or string ball production, that could be obs...
