Abstract
We consider the scattering amplitudes of the form V1V2 --> V3V4 where V-i = gamma, Z, W or g(= gluon) are the standard model gauge bosons, due to grav iton exchange in Kaluza-Klein theories with large extra dimensions. This le ads to a number of experimentally viable signatures at high energy leptonic and hadronic colliders. We discuss the observability or attainable limits on the scale of the gravitational interactions (m(D)), that may be obtained at an e(+)e(-) Next Linear Collider (NLC) and at the CERN LHC, by studying some of these types of gauge-boson scattering processes. We find that the attainable limits through these type of processes are m(D)greater than or s imilar to 3 TeV at the NLC and m(D)greater than or similar to 6 TeV at the LHC.
