Searches for Extra Spatial Dimensions with the CMS Detector at the LHC

Abstract

The success of the first three years of operations of the LHC at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV radically changed the landscape of searches for new physics beyond the standard model and our very way of thinking about its possible origin and its hiding place. Among the paradigms of new physics that have been probed quite extensively at the LHC, are various models that predict the existence of extra spatial dimensions. In this review, the current status of searches for extra dimensions with the CMS detector is presented, along with prospects for future searches at the full energy of the LHC, expected to be reached in the next few years.

Invited review on behalf of the CMS Collaboration in a special issue of Modern Physics Letters A on models with extra spatial dimensions
