We present an analysis, based on the center–edge asymmetry, to distinguish effects of extra dimensions within the Arkani-Hamed–Dimopoulos–Dvali (ADD) and Randall–Sundrum (RS) scenarios from other new physics effects in lepton-pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider LHC. Spin-2 and spin-1 exchange can be distinguished up to an ADD cutoff scale, MH, of about 5 TeV, at the 95% CL. In the RS scenario, spin-2 resonances can be identified in most of the favored parameter space.

The concept of Large Extra Dimensions (LED) provides a way of solving the Hierarchy Problem which concerns the weakness of gravity compared with the strong and electro-weak forces. A consequence of LED is that miniature Black Holes (mini-BHs) may be produced at the Large Hadron Collider in p + p collisions. The present work uses the CHARYBDIS mini-BH generator code to simulate the hadronic signal which might be expected in a mid-rapidity particle tracking detector from the decay of these exotic objects if indeed they are produced. An estimate is also given for Pb + Pb collisions.

It is a challenge to explain why neutrinos are so light compared to other leptons. Small neutrino masses can be explained if right-handed fermions propagate in large extra dimensions. Fermions propagating in the bulk would have implications on Higgs boson decays. If the Higgs boson is discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a detailed analysis may reveal the presence of large extra dimensions. This paper reviews the status of large extra-dimensional models in the context of the current limits on Higgs boson masses and the fundamental Planck scale in extra dimensions.

The framework of large extra dimensions provides a way to explain why gravity is weaker than the other forces in nature. A consequence of this model is the possible production of D-dimensional black holes in high energy p–p collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The present work uses the CATFISH black hole generator to study quantitatively how these events could be observed in the hadronic channel at midrapidity using a particle-tracking detector.
