The Bulk Randall-Sundrum model, where all Standard Model particles except theHiggs are free to propagate in the bulk, predicts the existence of Kaluza-Klein(KK) modes of the gluon with a large branching into top-antitop pairs. We studythe production of the lowest KK gluon mode at the Tevatron energy and use thedata on the top cross-section from the Run II of Tevatron to put a bound on themass of the KK gluon. The resulting bound of 800 GeV, while being much smallerthan the constraints obtained on the KK gluon mass from flavour-changingneutral currents, is the first, direct collider bound which is independent ofthe specificities of the model.Comment: 8 pages LaTeX, including 1 figure as a ps fil
