Searches for extra dimensions with the ATLAS and CMS detectors

Models with extra spatial dimensions have been proposed to explain the large apparent hierarchy between the Electroweak and Planck scales. Such models predict a host of different new phenomena observable at the energy scale in reach with the LHC. Searches for these phenomena with the full 8 TeV LHC...

Sumario:Models with extra spatial dimensions have been proposed to explain the large apparent hierarchy between the Electroweak and Planck scales. Such models predict a host of different new phenomena observable at the energy scale in reach with the LHC. Searches for these phenomena with the full 8 TeV LHC dataset taken with the ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented for different topologies. The exchange of gravitons propagating through the extra dimensions can lead to resonant or non-resonant enhancements in high mass tails. Semi-classical and quantum black holes could form and their decays provide for different spectacular signatures.
