Theory
TeV Brane → Planck Brane SM interactions exist on TeV Brane
Can propagate in 5-D SM particles fixed between these branes Since Higgs is on TeV Brane, the closer a SM
particle lies to TeV Brane the larger its mass “Naturally” form mass hierarchy

Conclusions
Z′ muonic decay offers best hope seeing signal early Subsequent use of electron decay for
confirmation and refinement of signal W′ searches will require more work
MET in the final state RS Graviton offers exciting answers but will
need a more careful analysis
