摘要
The realization of low (TeV) scale strings usually requires the existence of large (TeV) extra dimensions where gauge bosons live. The direct production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the photon and Z-boson at present and future colliders is studied in this work. At the LEPII, NLC and Tevatron colliders, these Kaluza-Klein modes lead to deviations from the standard model cross-sections, which provide lower bounds on their mass. At the LHC the corresponding resonances can be produced and decay on-shell, triggering a characteristic pattern in the distribution of dilepton invariant mass.
