Outline Extra Old : 7Variations on a theme: Embedding the 3+1 spacetime to a higher dimensional structure 7Table-top experiments: Status 7 Collider experiments: Results and prospects
4
the 5th dimension is 75 Years Old Kaluza and Klein started from 5-dim Einstein gravity and derived 4-dim gravity plus electromagnetism The 5th dimension is compactified around a circle of radius R
5
Compactification around a circle of radius R e.g. For many extra dimensions BUT in the KK case the compactification radius is too very small.
6
String theory and Extra dimensions String Theory, or M-theory implies the existence of 7 extra spatial dimensions which must be compact since we do not see them. Many possible physical scales of string theory : M s ~10 16 GeV ; 1/R ~ 10 16 GeV 1 M s ~10 11 GeV ; 1/R ~ 10 9 GeV 1 M s ~ 10 4 GeV ; 1/R ~ 10 3 GeV 1 M s < 10 3 GeV ; 1/R ~ meV 1
8
Kaluza-Klein modes If a spatial dimension is periodic then the momentum in that dimension is quantized: From our dimensions of view the KK modes get mass: p 0 KK momentum tower of states
9
Gauss’s Law If the δ extra dimensions are compactifid down to sizes R, then Gauss’s Law The Planck Scale from our dimension of view, 10 19 GeV 4+ Planck Scale M s M D M * … any scale that in the higher dimensional theory is taken O(TeV)
10
The size of the extra dimension No way Explore in sub-mm gravitational experiments/collider... M-theory limits Set the higher dimesional Planck scale to m EWK, the Planck scale to 10 19 GeV then
11
The extra world picture The SM is confined on a 4d wall Gravity exists in a 4+d “bulk” Gravity feels week on the wall because of the enormity of the bulk volume Each KK-graviton state couples to the wall with Planck supressed strength The number of KK-states ~(ER) The sum over all KK-states is not M Pl supressed but M Pl(4+ ) supressed i.e. M EWK supressed so we have sizable cross sections
12
Variations on a theme many large toroidal extra dimensions (Arkani Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali) one infinite extra dimension (Randall-Sundrum) one infinite extra dimension for us, and the Planck brane for gravity (Randall-Lykken) longitudinal extra dimensions in the TeV range (Antoniadis-Benakli-Quiros) and more...

Extra Dimensions Stats
46
Neutrinos in the bulk Dimopulos, Hamed,Dvali Russel, hep-ph/9811448 Martin,Wells hep-ph/9903259 If the R lives in the extra dimensions as a KK tower of states and the Dirac neutrino masses arise from y H R L so that m =y u where u is the Higgs vev 175 GeV then the decay of the Higgs to L R (i) is proportional to the small y 2, but also to the sum of the KK states (all with m<m H ) (m H R) .

Strings again A lot of work in string phenomenology domain with large extra dimensions The dominant new physics effects may come from stringy physics Look for string resonances and other form factor corrections to SM 2-body reactions Impressive sensitivity of LHC,LC
51
Gauge Bosons in the Bulk Antoniadis,Quiros,Benakli hep-ph/9905311 Rizzo,Wells hep-ph9906234 One motivation is the weak scale SUSY breaking.The compactification scale of the extra dimension(s) considered in these scenarios is of the order of the SUSY breaking scale taken to be of the order of the EWK scale. quarks and leptons are confined on a 4d boundary gauge fields live in the 5d bulk The gauge boson KK states have an additional 2 strength in their interactions
52
implications The vector boson KK modes have masses From precision EWK measurements R -1 ~3.5 TeV Z (n), (n) Also limits from: PEW:LEP,SLD,NuTeV..,had:direct KK gauge boson,e+e-:deviations in final state fermion observables
