Searches for Large Extra Dimensions at CMS

TL;DR

This paper reports on CMS searches for large extra dimensions in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV, finding no excess events and setting limits on the Planck scale and exotic object masses.

Contribution

First CMS search for large extra dimensions at 7 TeV, providing new limits on multidimensional Planck scale and exotic object masses.

Findings

No excess events observed above standard model expectations.

Stringent limits set on the multidimensional Planck scale.

Constraints placed on masses of exotic objects from extra dimensions.

Abstract

Results of searches for large extra dimensions in pp collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the CMS detector are presented. No excess of events above the standard model expectations in up to 1.1 fb-1 of data is found. Stringent limits are set on the multidimensional Planck scale as well as masses of exotic objects that are consequences of the extra dimensions.
