We have searched for the effects of Kaluza Klein gravitons predicted in theories of large spatial extra dimensions (LED). Analyzing angular and invariant mass distributions of photon and electron pairs in 127 pb -1 of data, we find complete agreement with expectations from the Standard Model. There were no anomalous events found that are characteristic of virtual graviton exchange. We set lower limits on the compactification scale of large extra dimensions between 1.0 and 1.4 TeV for the number of extra dimensions between 2 and 7.

The search for physics beyond the Standard Model includes Technicolor particles, Higgs Bosons, compositeness, many variations of Supersymmetry, large extra dimensions, model-independent searches for anomalies, and other topics. This article reports a subset of these ongoing searches at the high-energy colliders, Tevatron, HERA and LEP.

We first discuss the problem of mass hierarchy and review briefly the main Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) proposals. We then describe the framework of strings, branes and large extra dimensions and give the main experimental predictions in both particle accelerators and microgravity experiments testing gravity at short distances. Finally, we present some models based on intersecting branes and discuss the issue of Standard Model embedding.

We investigate the possible large extra dimensions (LED) effects induced by the Kaluza–Klein (KK) gravitons up to the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) on ZZW production at the large hadron collider (LHC). The integrated cross-sections and some kinematic distributions are presented in both the Standard Model (SM) and the LED model. The numerical results demonstrate that the NLO QCD corrections are sizeable and remarkably reduce the leading order (LO) LED effect depending strongly on the phase space. The NLO LED relative discrepancies of the total cross-section could become sizable for the ZZW production, if we apply proper event selection criteria. We find that the LO result overestimates the LED effect and is insufficient to provide a believable theoretical prediction.

Abstract We study for the first time the case in which Dark Matter (DM) is made of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMP) interacting just gravitationally with the standard model particles in an extra-dimensional Randall-Sundrum scenario. We assume that both the dark matter and the standard model are localized in the IR-brane and only interact via gravitational mediators, namely the graviton, the Kaluza-Klein gravitons and the radion. We found that in the early Universe DM could be generated via two main processes: the direct freeze-in and the sequential freeze-in. The regions where the observed DM relic abundance is produced are largely compatible with cosmological and collider bounds.

Monojet events consist in event topologies with a high transverse momentum jet and a large amount of missing transverse energy. They constitute a promising final state that could lead to phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The theoretical models giving rise to such a signature include the pair production of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, as dark matter candidates, and models of large extra dimensions. Monojet events can even be used to measure the Standard Model properties of Z boson decays, provided that the precision of the analysis is high enough. Such precision can be achieved by using data-driven determinations of the Standard Model contributions to monojet events. Exotics searches for new physics in such a final state have been performed at all high energy hadronic collider experiments since SPS. The ATLAS and CMS analyses with 7 TeV LHC data provide the latest and most useful information obtained from monojet studies. Their results are presented and discussed in this review paper.

We study the processes γe→γe and γγ→γγ, in the context of the proposal for Weak Scale Quantum Gravity (WSQG) with large extra dimensions. With an ultraviolet cutoff MS~1 TeV for the effective gravity theory, the cross sections obtained for these processes at the Next Linear Collider (NLC), with the eγ an γγ options, deviate from the predictions of the Standard Model significantly. Our results suggest that, for typical proposed NLC energies and luminosities, the predictions of WSQG can be tested in the range 1 TeV≲MS≲10 TeV, making eγ an γγ colliders important tools for probing WSQG.

A brief review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using single- and multi-photon events with missing energy at LEP is given here. These include searches for supersymmetry, large extra dimensions, and anomalous neutrino production. Recent results from all four LEP experiments are presented, including improved limits on the new scale of gravity for models with large extra dimensions and the most precise direct measurement of the number of light neutrino species. Status and prospects of the LEP combined searches are also discussed.

Recent results for direct searches for physics beyond the Standard Model are reviewed. The results include Tevatron II data up to 1.2 fb-1 and HERA results up to 350 pb-1. Searches for Supersymmetry, for compositeness and for large extra dimensions are presented. The excess of events with an isolated lepton and high missing transverse momentum at HERA is discussed.
