Signatures of spherical compactification at the CERN LHC
Signatures of spherical compactification at the CERN LHC
TeV-scale extra dimensions may play an important role in electroweak or supersymmetry breaking. We examine the phenomenology of such dimensions, compactified on a sphere ${S}^{n}$, $n\ensuremath{\ge}2$, and show that they possess distinct features and signatures. For example, unlike flat toroidal manifolds, spheres do not trivially allow fermion massless modes. Acceptable …
