Searches for Extra Dimensions at LEP
Marat Gataullin
Abstract
Extra spatial dimensions are proposed by recent theories that postulate the fundamental gravitational scale to be of the same order as the electroweak scale. Different final states and search strategies are used by LEP collaborations to search for the signs of extra spatial dimensions. A brief review of the search strategies and results from all four LEP experiments, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, is given here. No hints for the existence of extra dimensions are found and limits on the fundamental gravitational scale are derived. The presented results are based on the data collected at LEP in 1998-2000 at centre-of-mass energies from 189 GeV up to 208 GeV. All results reported here are still preliminary.
