The string theory predict the existance of new particles in a band of energy which is accessible to the new particle accelerator at CERN
Are you talking about the LHC at CERN?
I don't know of any particles that are distinct to String theory that will pop out of that. Consider that...

This theory can exactly predict all the features of all the known particles.
...the Standard Model of Particle Physics, a almost 50 year old theory, already does that.
What the LHC will do is validate the SM further but I'm unaware that it will be able to test any tenets of String theory. It's main success will be to find direct evidence of a Higgs Boson, a lynchpin of the Standard Model, not String Theory. As well, anothe major thrust of the LHC is the finding of Supersymmetric Particles (very dear to my heart since I did my PhD thesis on them) but even that isn't direct proof of String Theory.
Could you expand on this Alberto? I would very much like to know what is on the horizon in experimental physics, especially as related to String theory!
