| Abstract: We study the top pair production cross section at the LHC in the
context of Randall-Sundrum model including the Kaluza-Klein (KK)
excited gravitons. It is shown that the recent measurement of the
cross section of this process at the LHC restricts the parameter
space in Randall-Sundrum (RS) model considerably. We show that
the coupling parameter ($\frac{k}{\overline{M}_{pl}}$) is
excluded by this measurement from $0.03$ to $0.22$ depending on
the mass of first KK excited graviton ($m_1$). We also study the
effect of KK excitations on the spin correlation of the top
pairs. It is shown that the spin asymmetry in $t\bar{t}$ events
is sensitive to the RS model parameters with a reasonable choice
of model parameters.
