We investigate the sensitivity of future photon-photon colliders to low scale gravity scenarios via the process $\gamma\gamma \to ZZ$ where the Kaluza-Klein boson exchange contributes only when the initial state photons have opposite…
We calculate the production of massive Kaluza-Klein(KK) modes via nucleon-nucleon gravi-bremsstrahlung in the early universe. Overproduction of these states would result in early matter domination and therefore a low age for the universe so…

Within a minimal extension of the SM in 4+1 dimensions, we study how Kaluza Klein excitations of the SM gauge bosons affect the electroweak precision observables. Asymmetries in Z decays provide the dominant bound on the compactification…
It is pointed out in a class of models with large extra dimensions that the cross section of processes with virtual Kaluza-Klein graviton exchanges becomes either much smaller or much larger by many orders of magnitude than what is expected…

We analyze the potentiality of the new generation of $e^+e^-$ linear colliders to search for large extra dimensions via the production of fermion pairs in association with Kaluza-Klein gravitons (G), i.e. $e^+e^- \leftarrow f\bar{f}G$. This…
We consider the Kaluza-Klein scenario in which gravity propagates in the $4+n$ dimensional bulk of spacetime and the Standard Model particles are confined to a 3-brane. We calculate the gauge boson self-energy corrections arising from the…
In the context of an universal extra-dimensional scenario, we consider production of the first Kaluza-Klein electron positron pair in an $e^+e^-$ collider as a case-study for the future International Linear Collider. The Kaluza-Klein…

Cosmic ray events above $10^{20}$ eV are on the verge of confronting fundamental particle physics. The neutrino is the only candidate primary among established particles capable of crossing 100 Mpc intergalactic distances unimpeded. The…
The photon plus missing energy signature is a primary handle on two important classes of theories. Theories with large extra dimensions predict the production of photons in association with Kaluza-Klein excitations of the graviton. In…
It is possible for the SM fields to propagate into one or more large extra compact dimensions. Such fields have associated KK excitations that produce additional contributions to the SM processes. We calculate the effects that these KK…
The recent up to 2fb^{-1} of data from the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at 7TeV put an upper bound on the production cross section of a Higgs-like particle. We translate the results of the H -> WW -> l nu l nu…
Theories with extra dimensions of inverse TeV size (or larger) predict a multitude of signals which can be searched for at present and future colliders. In this paper, we review the different phenomenological signatures of a particular…
Within warped extra dimension models that explain flavor through geometry, flavor changing neutral current constraints generally force the Kaluza-Klein scale to be above many TeV. This creates tension with a natural electroweak scale. On…

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…
Models based on Universal Extra Dimensions predict Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of all Standard Model (SM) particles. We examine the pair production of KK excitations of top- and bottom-quarks at the Large Hadron Collider. Once produced,…
