A search for large extra spatial dimensions via virtual-graviton exchange in the diphoton channel has been carried out with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events above the standard model expectations is found using a data sample collected in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns. New lower limits on the effective Planck scale in the range of 1.6-2.3 TeV at the 95% confidence level are set, providing the most restrictive bounds to date on models with more than two large extra dimensions.

A search for large extra dimensions in the diphoton final state using the interpretation of the ADD model is presented. The analysis is performed using 35.9fbinv of data from proton-proton collisions during Run II of the Large Hadron Collider that was recorded by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector in the year 2016. The center of mass energy of the proton-proton system was 13TeV. Events from both data and the Standard Model diphoton background monte-carlo simulation are selected by a cut-based photon identification that has been tuned for photons with high transverse momentum. The simulated Standard Model diphoton events are corrected to NNLO precision by a k-factor calculated by MCFM. The contribution from events with one or two jets misidentified as photons is derived by a data-driven method. The observed data are consistent with the Standard Model. Limits on the ultraviolet cutoff parameter of the ADD model of large extra dimensions MS are calculated as a function of the number of extra dimensions n in the GRW, HLZ, and Hewett conventions for the dependence of the total cross section on MS. In the GRW convention, we observe a 95\% lower limit on MS of 7.6TeV.

A search for signatures of extra dimensions in the diphoton invariant-mass spectrum has been performed with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events above the standard model expectation is observed using a data sample collected in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb−1. In the context of the large-extra-dimensions model, lower limits are set on the effective Planck scale in the range of 2.3-3.8 TeV at the 95% confidence level. These limits are the most restrictive bounds on virtual-graviton exchange to date. The most restrictive lower limits to date are also set on the mass of the first graviton excitation in the Randall-Sundrum model in the range of 0.86-1.84 TeV, for values of the associated coupling parameter between 0.01 and 0.10.

The authors present the results of searches for large extra dimensions in samples of events with large missing transverse energy E{sub T} and either a photon or a jet produced in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector. For? + E{sub T} and jet + E{sub T} candidate samples corresponding to 2.0 fb−1 and 1.1 fb−1 of integrated luminosity respectively, they observe good agreement with standard model expectations and obtain a combined lower limit on the fundamental parameter of the large extra dimensions model, M{sub D}, as a function of the number of extra dimensions in the model.

The authors report on a search for large extra dimensions in a data sample of approximately 1 fb−1 of p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV. They investigate Kaluza-Klein graviton production with a photon and missing transverse energy in the final state. At the 95% C.L. they set limits on the fundamental mass scale M{sub D} from 884 GeV to 778 GeV for 2 to 8 extra dimensions.

ABSTRACT: This dissertation presents a search for large extra dimensions in the single photon plus missing transverse energy final states. We use a data sample of approximately 2.7fb^-1 of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)= 1.96 TeV (recorded with the D0 detector) to investigate direct Kaluza Klein graviton production and set limits, at the 95% C.L., on the fundamental mass scale M_{D} from 970 to 816 GeV for two to eight extra dimensions.
