Identification of indirect new physics effects at e+e- colliders: the large extra dimensions case
Abstract
We discuss indirect manifestations of graviton exchange, predicted by large extra dimensions, in fermion-pair production at a high-energy e+e- collider. By means of specifically defined asymmetries among integrated angular distributions, the graviton exchange signal can be cleanly distinguished from the effects of either vector-vector contact interactions or heavy scalar exchanges. The role of initial electron and positron beams polarization is also discussed. The method is applied to a quantitative assessment of the sensitivity to the mass cut-off parameter MH of the KK graviton tower in the ADD scenario, and of the potential identification reach of this mechanism obtainable at the currently planned Linear Collider.
