Abstract

Large extra dimension effects on the spin configuration of the top quark pair at the e+ettˉe^+ e^-\to t\bar{t} process are studied. It is shown that the TeV scale quantum gravity effects cause significant deviations from the Standard Model predictions for the spin configuration in the off-diagonal basis: they lead to substantial cross sections of the like-spin states of the top quark pair, which vanish in the SM; they weaken the pure dominance of the processes, the Up-Down (Down-Up) spin states for the left-handed (right-handed) beam. In addition it is shown that the angular cut 0.5<cosθ<0-0.5<\cos\theta<0 is very effective to determine the sign of the quantum gravity corrections.
