This is a pedagogical introduction into theories with branes and extra dimensions. We first discuss the construction of such models from an effective field theory point of view, and then discuss large extra dimensions and some of their…
In this review, we give a brief introduction on the aspects of some extra dimension models and the five-dimensional thick brane models in extended theories of gravity. First, we briefly introduce the Kaluza-Klein theory, the domain wall…
Compact spatial dimension at the TeV scale remain an intriguing possibility that is currently being tested at the LHC. We give an introductory review of extra-dimensional models and ideas, from a phenomenological perspective, but…
Introductory lectures on Extra Dimensions delivered at TASI 2004. The emphasis is on basic mechanisms rather than specific models.
Extra dimensions provide a new window on a number of problems faced by the Standard Model. The following provides an introduction to this very broad subject aimed at experimental graduate students and post-docs based on a lecture given at…
This is a pedagogical introduction into the possible uses and effects of extra dimensions in electroweak (TeV scale) physics, and in particular to models of electroweak symmetry breaking via boundary conditions ("higgsless models"). It is…
Extra dimensions provide a very useful tool in addressing a number of the fundamental problems faced by the Standard Model. The following provides a very basic introduction to this very broad subject area as given at the VIII School of the…
I give a pedagogical introduction to the concepts and the tools that are necessary to study particle physics models in higher dimensions. I then give a more detailed presentation of warped compactifications and discuss their possible…
The aim of this talk is to provide non-experts with a brief and elementary introduction on the field of extra dimensions. The main motivation for extra dimensions relies on the more fundamental string theories that predict ten (or eleven)…
The phenomenology of large, warped, and universal extra dimensions is reviewed. Characteristic signals are emphasized rather than an extensive survey. This is the writeup of lectures given at the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in…
I give a brief and elementary introduction to braneworld models with large extra dimensions. Three conceptually distinct scenarios are outlined: (i) Large compact extra dimensions; (ii) Warped extra dimensions; (iii) Infinite-volume extra…
Extra-dimensions are a common topic in popular descriptions of theoretical physics with which undergraduate student most often have no contact in physics courses. This paper shows how students could be introduced to this topic by presenting…
Lowering the string scale in the TeV region provides a theoretical framework for solving the mass hierarchy problem and unifying all interactions. The apparent weakness of gravity can then be accounted by the existence of large internal…
We study scenarios in which there is a hierarchy of two sets of large compactified extra dimensions. One particularly interesting case has a single millimeter size extra dimension and five TeV^{-1} size dimensions. The Standard Model gauge…
In this thesis we discuss some aspects concerning the construction of a 4D effective theory derived from higher dimensional (in particular 6D) models. The first part is devoted to the study of how the heavy Kaluza-Klein modes contribute to…
We review some aspects of theories with compact extra dimensions. We consider the motivation and the theoretical basis of Large, Universal and Warped Extra Dimensions. We focus on those aspects that are potentially relevant in the…
This is a colloquium style pedagogical introduction to the paradigm of large extra dimensions. To be published in the Proceedings of the Workshop "Crossing the boundaries: Gauge dynamics at strong coupling," (May 14 - 17, 2009,…
Selected topics showcasing the exploration for new physics using colliders; presented at TASI 2001.
The standard picture of viable higher-dimensional theories is that extra dimensions manifest themselves at short distances only, their effects being negligible at scales larger than some critical value. We show that this is not necessarily…
We discuss the high-energy behavior of cross sections in theories with large extra dimensions and low-scale quantum gravity, addressing two particular issues: (i) the tension of the D-branes, and (ii) bounds on the cross section and their…
