Graviton collider effects in one and more large extra dimensions

چکیده
Astrophysical bounds severely limit the possibility of observing collider signals of gravity with less than 3 flat extra dimensions. However, small distortions of the compactified space can lift the masses of the lightest graviton excitations, evading astrophysical bounds without affecting collider signals of quantum gravity. Following this procedure we reconsider theories with one large extra dimension. A slight space warping gives a model which is safe in the infrared against astrophysical and observational bounds, and which has the ultraviolet properties of gravity with a single flat extra dimension. We extend collider studies to the case of one extra dimension, pointing out its peculiarities. Finally, for a generic number of extra dimensions, we compare different channels in LHC searches for quantum gravity, introducing an ultraviolet cutoff as an additional parameter besides the Planck mass.

Simulation of Z plus Graviton / Unparticle Production at the LHC
Theories with extra dimensions have gained much interest in recent years as candidates for a possible extension of the SM. The observation of large extra dimensions through real graviton emission is one of the most popular related new phenomena. The main experimental signatures from graviton emission are production of single jet and single photon events, which have been studied in great detail....
متن کاملGraviton emission from a soft brane
Theories with compact extra spatial dimensions felt only by gravity are subject to direct experimental tests if the compactification volume is large. Estimates of high-energy collider observables induced by graviton radiation into extra dimensions are usually given assuming rigid branes. This may overestimate the accessibility of these theories. Brane fluctuations soften the coupling of gravito...
متن کاملGraviton Production By Two Photon and Electron-Photon Processes In Kaluza-Klein Theories With Large Extra Dimensions
We consider the production of gravitons via two photon and electron-photon fusion in Kaluza-Klein theories which allow TeV scale gravitational interactions. We show that at electron-positron colliders, the processes ll → ll + graviton, with l = e, μ, can lead to a new signal of low energy gravity of the form ll → ll+missing energy which is well above the Standard Model background. For example, ...

The Randall-Sundrum model is one of several extra-dimensional theories giving rise to a spectrum of massive graviton states. It is the nature of this particular model that the graviton states are well separated in mass, allowing for their detection in collider experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as resonances. This paper considers the possibility of detecting the graviton in the...
متن کاملCollider signals of brane fluctuations
Assuming that we live on a non rigid brane with TeV-scale tension, the scalar fields that control the coordinates of our brane in the extra dimensions give rise to missing energy signals at high-energy colliders with a characteristic angular and energy spectrum, identical to the one due to graviton emission in 6 extra dimensions. LEP bounds and LHC capabilities are analyzed.
