Searches for Extra Dimensions and Black Holes at the LHC
Greg Landsberg (Brown University)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
Recently, a novel class of solutions of the hierarchy problem of the
Standard Model have been proposed. These models utilize extra
spatial dimensions to lower the scale of quantum gravity to a
TeV range, and result in rich collider phenomenology, including
a spectacular possibility of producing mini-black holes at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC). I'll review the fundamentals of various
models with extra spatial dimensions, as well as the existing
experimental constraints on their parameters. I'll then discuss
searches for extra dimensions and black holes at the LHC,
focusing on the early LHC data to test these models.
