2 Outline Why search for Extra Dimensions (ED)? Motivation & different models: ADD, RS, TeV - How are ED detectable at accelerators? Signatures Where are searches being performed? Accelerator facilities What searches are being performed? Search channels What are the results? Analysis descriptions What are the future prospects? LHC MC studies

6 Experimental Signature for and KK Gauge Bosons From 4-d point of view: Mass of SM gauge bosons (M n ) that propagate in the ED are equivalent to towers of KK states with masses : M n = (M 0 +n /R ) where (n=,, ) Potentially detectable consequences: ) Mixing among the 0 th (SM gauge boson) and the nth-modes (n=,,3..) of the W and Z bosons. (Since the entire tower of KK states have the same quantum numbers as their 0 th -state gauge boson) ) Direct production and virtual exchanges of the 0 th -state gauge bosons, AND both direct production and virtual effects of the KK states of the W, Z, γ and g bosons at high energies New Parameters R=M C - : size of the compact dimension M C : corresponding compactification scale M 0 : mass of the SM gauge boson ATLAS ee M n = M 0 hep-ph/989 6
