Asymptotic Safety at the LHC — •Erik Gerwick¹, Tilman Plehn², and Daniel Litim³ — ¹SUPA, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Edinburgh, Scotland — ²Institut fur Theoretische Physik, Universitat Heidelberg, Germany — ³Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK

Kaluza-Klein states may be accessible at the LHC if Large Extra Dimensions are realized in nature. For processes involving virtual gravitons there are ambiguities when summing over the tower of massive states. We resolve this issue by implementing fixed point scaling behavior in the UV motivated by the asymptotic safety scenario. This talk will discuss this problem as well as possible collider signatures of the asymptotic safety scenario at the LHC.
