Collider Signals of Extra Dimension Scenarios Nobuchika Okada (KEK) KEK LC Physics Meeting May 9-12, KEK, Japan
1. Introduction Large extra-dimension (ADD) scenario (Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali, ’98) Basic picture: dimensional model We are confined on “3-brane” graviton lives in the bulk SM fields graviton compact extra-dimensions ( with common radii r ) “3-brane”
Alternative solution to the gauge hierarchy problem without SUSY, TC, etc. Low scale gravity model Gauss law We can take with We can expect collider signal!
2. Theoretical Framework 4D description : graviton in dimensions Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode decomposition in 4 dimensions + periodic boundary conditions Infinite tower of KK modes Ex) if 6 dim.
KK graviton: KK gravi-scalar: KK vectors KK scalars do not couple to SM fields Reduced Planck mass : negligible at high energies Characteristic features: infinite tower of KK gravitons universal couplings
Feynman rules ex) QED + KK graviton
3. Collider signal of large extra dimension Phenomenology of extra-dimension scenario = Phenomenology of graviton Kaluza-Klein modes Detection of Extra-dimension @ future colliders detection of KK graviton direct KK graviton emission processes indirect KK graviton mediated processes First detection of spin 2 particle !
II: angular dependence of cross section Important points: I: total cross section new physics evidence deviation from the SM collider energy LC < LHC II: angular dependence of cross section effects due to spin 2 particle exchange precise measurements of angular dependence LC > LHC

Angular dependence of cross section
Qualitative understanding of angular dependence Initial state helicity: or Final state helicity: 0 Orbital angular momentum is needed to make up spin 2 of intermediate KK gravitons Angular distribution reflects the spin 2 nature of KK gravitons

Plan Realistic Monte Carlo simulations Is it possible to distinguish final states with different helicity ? Collider energy should be high as possible Ms should be low as possible

4. Summary Large extra dimension Scenario is an interesting candidate for new physics beyond the standard model The existence of extra dimensions may be revealed through processes involving the KK gravitons, KK graviton emission processes KK graviton mediated processes LC has an advantage to measure the angular dependence of the cross section of the KK graviton mediated process, which reflects the spin 2 nature of the intermediate KK gravitons
