  12. G G Extra Dimensions ADD model In which the fundamental Planck scale (MPl) can brought down to the TeV range, by allowing for a large compactified dimensions at the TeV scale. The SM fields are confined to a 3-D brane Massless gravitons propagate in the full 4+n dimensional space Gravitons can be detected by 1) Graviton Emission - gravitons radiate into the bulk appearing as missing energy 2) Graviton Exchange - deviations in the cross-section from SM prediction N. Arkani-Hamed et el., Phys. Lett. B 429, 263 (1998), I. Antoniadis et al., Phys Lett. B 436, 257 (1998) RS model MPl is determined by the higher-dimensional curvature rather than the size of the extra dimension. There is one additional dimension. Gravity can be localised near a brane. Kaluza-Klein states can be produced separately on resonance, and produce potentially observable spin 2 resonances. The cleanest signal for graviton resonance production is either an excess in Drell-Yan, or in the dijet channel. L.Randall and R.Sundrum, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83,3370 (1999), Phys. Rev. Lett. 83,4690 (1999) DIS 2002, Poland produce potentially observable spin 2 resonances at high energies which can be reconstructed from their decay products.

  15. Compositeness Quark-lepton contact interaction was searched for in Run I in the dimuon and dielectron channels, by looking for an excess of dileptons compared to the Drell-Yan prediction. Run Ib dielectron data set the limits on the compositeness scale to - > 3.8 TeV and + > 2.6 TeV. In Run II we expect to be able to explore up to limits of approximately 5 TeV. (Where +/- corresponds to the constructive / destructive interference with the dominant up-quark contribution to the cross-section.) (Phys. Rev. Lett.79: 2198-2203, 1997)) DIS 2002, Poland
