Searches for Extra Dimensions at the Tevatron

TL;DR

This paper reports on collider experiments at the Tevatron searching for evidence of extra spatial dimensions through proton-antiproton collisions, testing theories where gravity or gauge bosons propagate beyond three dimensions.

Contribution

First experimental searches for extra dimensions at the Tevatron using Run II data from CDF and D0 experiments, providing constraints on such models.

Findings

No evidence of extra dimensions found.

Set limits on the size and number of extra dimensions.

Utilized up to 200 pb^-1 of collision data.

Abstract

Models in which gravity and/or Standard Model gauge bosons propagate in more than three spatial dimensions have implications that can be tested at current colliders. In this paper, we report on the results from searches for extra dimensions at the two Tevatron experiments, CDF and D0, which utilize up to 200 pb^-1 of proton-antiproton collision data from Run II taken at 1.96 TeV CoM energy, between spring 2002 and fall 2003.
