  With the advent of the LHC there is widespread interest in the discovery
potential for physics beyond the standard model. In TeV-scale open string
theory, the new physics can be manifest in the excitation and decay of new
resonant structures, corresponding to Regge recurrences of standard model
particles. An essential input for the prediction of invariant mass spectra of
the decay products (which could serve to identify the resonance as a string
excitation) are the partial and total widths of the decay products. We present
a parameter-free calculation of these widths for the first Regge recurrence of
the SU(3) gluon octet, of the U(1) gauge boson which accompanies gluons in
D-brane constructions, and of the quark triplet.
