Geometry of large extra dimensions versus graviton emission

  • 1. Department of Physics, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 2T8 (Canada)

Description

We study how the geometry of large extra dimensions may affect field theory results on a three-brane. More specifically, we compare cross sections for graviton emission from a brane when the internal space is an N-torus and an N-sphere for N=2-6. We find that the ability of high energy colliders to determine the geometry of the extra dimensions is limited but there is an enhancement when both the quantum gravity scale and N are large
