  "abstract": "We consider an asymmetric string compactification scenario in which the SM gauge bosons can propagate into one TeV$^{-1}$-size extra compact dimension. These gauge bosons have associated KK excitations that present additional contributions to the SM processes. We calculate the effects that the KK excitations of the gluons, $g^{\\star}$'s, have on multijet final state production in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider energy. In the case of dijet final states with very high $p_{{}_T}$, the KK signal due to the exchanges of the $g^{\\star}$'s is several factors greater than the SM background for compactification scales as high as about 7 TeV. The high-$p_{{}_T}$ effect is not as dramatic for the direct production of a single on-shell $g^{\\star}$, which subsequently decays into $q$-$\\bar{q}$ pairs, where the KK signal significantly exceeds the SM three-jet background for compactification scales up to about 3 TeV. We also present our results for the four-jet final state signal from the direct production of two on-shell $g^{\\star}$'s.",
