"Planck Scale Physics"

Planck scale physics represents a future challenge, located between
particle physics and general relativity. The Planck scale marks a
threshold beyond which the old description of spacetime breaks
down and conceptually new phenomena must appear. Little is known about
the fundamental theory valid at Planckian energies, except that it
necessarily seems to imply the occurrence of a minimal length scale,
providing a natural ultraviolet cutoff and a limit to the possible
resolution of spacetime. 

Motivated by String Theory, the models of large extra dimensions lower
the Planck scale to values soon accessible. These models predict a vast
number of quantum gravity effects at the lowered Planck scale, among
them the production of TeV-mass black holes and gravitons. Within the
extra dimensional scenario, also the minimal length comes into the reach
of experiment and sets a fundamental limit to short distance physics.

My talk will focus on the effects at energies close to the lowered
Planck scale within the effective models of Large Extra Dimensions.
