Tests of Low Scale Quantum Gravity in e^-e^- and γ γ Collisions
read the original abstract
Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali have recently proposed that gravity may become strong at energies near 1 TeV due to the existence of large extra dimensions thus `removing' the hierarchy problem. In this talk we examine the exchange of towers of Kaluza-Klein gravitons and their influence on Moller scattering as well as the production of pairs of massive gauge bosons in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions. These tower exchanges lead to a set of new dimension-8 operators that can significant alter the Standard Model expectations for these processes. In the case of $\gamma \gamma$ collisions, the role of polarization for both the initial state photons and the final state gauge bosons in improving sensitivity to graviton exchange is emphasized.
