2. 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”

3. 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!

4. 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. 

5. 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

6. Feynman rules
ex) QED + KK graviton

7. 3. Collider signal of large extra dimension
Phenomenology of extra-dimension scenario
= Phenomenology of graviton Kaluza-Klein modes
Detection of future colliders
 detection of KK graviton
direct  KK graviton emission processes
indirect KK graviton mediated processes
First detection of spin 2 particle !

8. KK graviton emission process
3-1. direct detection
KK graviton emission process
Ex)
Each process is suppressed by
Emitted KK graviton  non-interacting & stable particle
 missing energy event
is very small 
can be sizable 

12. 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

13. process Example: KK graviton exchange is dominant
N. Delerue, K. Fujii & N. Okada
hep-ex/ , to appear in PRD

KK graviton exchange is dominant
SM background free  very interesting
if this cross section is large enough
Comparable to

14. Angular dependence of cross section

15. 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

16. Monte Carlo Simulation

two pair of b-jets
SM background: processes producing two pair of jets

17. Invariant mass distributions

18. Invariant mass distributions

19. Event selection
Criteria: More than 25 tracks with an energy > 100 MeV
A visible energy larger than 600GeV
Transverse momentum larger than 50 GeV
More than 4 jets
Invariant mass less than 16 GeV away from Higgs mass
One of the jets of each Higgs candidate to be b-taged

20. 15/17
Number of remaining evens per
700 Higgs Pair 1TeV LC
integrated luminosity 500
Essentially No SM backgrounds!

21. Reconstruction of Angular Distribution
(after selection)
integrated luminosity 500

22. 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
