Abstract

We study the sensitivity reach of 0.520.5-2 TeV e+ee^+ e^- linear colliders in the context of the ADD model, in which gravity becomes strong at TeV scale. We include the real emission channel e+eγGe^+ e^- \to \gamma G, as well as the virtual-graviton-exchange channels e+eγγ,qqˉ,μ+μ,τ+τ,e+ee^+ e^- \to \gamma \gamma, q\bar q, \mu^+\mu^-, \tau^+ \tau^-, e^+ e^-. Assuming no excess of events over the standard model predictions, we obtain the lower 95% C.L. limits on the effective Planck scale. These limits are better than those obtained in the Run II's of the Tevatron and comparable to those of the LHC.
