Gravity effects in inclined air showers induced by cosmic neutrino
The Randall-Sundrum model with a small curvature is considered in which
five-dimensional Planck scale lies in the TeV region, and a spectrum of
Kaluza-Klein gravitons reminds that in one flat extra dimension. The cross
sections for interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos with nucleons
are calculated. It is shown that effects related with massive graviton
excitations can be detected in deeply penetrating inclined air showers induced
by these neutrinos. The expected number of air showers at the Auger Observatory
is estimated as a function of two parameters of the model.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures; 2 figures, 4 references and corrections are
