Dijet Production at Hadron Colliders in Theories with Large Extra Dimensions

TL;DR

This paper investigates how high invariant mass dijet production at hadron colliders can serve as a probe for TeV-scale gravity effects predicted by theories with large extra dimensions, providing potential signals at LHC and Tevatron energies.

Contribution

It introduces a method to test large extra dimension theories through dijet production, comparing collider signals with leptonic scattering processes.

Findings

LHC can probe effective Planck masses up to 10 TeV.

Tevatron can probe up to 1.5 TeV.

Dijet production signals can indicate TeV-scale gravitational effects.

Abstract

We consider the production of high invariant mass jet pairs at hadron colliders as a test for TeV scale gravitational effects. We find that this signal can probe effective Planck masses of about 10 TeV at the LHC with center of mass energy of 14 TeV and 1.5 TeV at the Tevatron with center of mass energy of 2 TeV. These results are compared to analogous scattering processes at leptonic colliders.
