2. 1. Cosmological aspects of universal extra dimensions

   Author : Torsten Bringmann; Lars Bergström; Pierre Binetruy; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cosmology; dark matter; extra dimensions; Cosmology; Kosmologi;

   Abstract : It is an intriguing possibility that our world may consist of more than three spatial dimensions, compactified on such a small scale that they so far have escaped detection. In this thesis, a particular realization of this idea -- the scenario of so-called 'universal extra dimensions' (UED) -- is studied in some detail, with a focus on cosmological consequences and appplications.

4. 2. Aspects of extra dimensions and membranes

   Author : Martin Sundin; Edwin Langmann; Teresia Månsson; Fawad Hassan; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extra dimensions; Brane world scenarios; Supermembranes; Mathematical physics; Matematisk fysik;

   Abstract : This thesis is about thwo papers related to extra dimensions. Paper A discusses extrinsic curvature effects, and paper B treats symmetries of supersymmetric membranes. In the part of this thesis related to paper A, we extend the theory of non-relativistic quantum particles confined to submanifolds to relativistic boson fields. READ MORE

5. 3. Particle Phenomenology of Compact Extra Dimensions

   Author : Henrik Melbéus; Tommy Ohlsson; Andrea Romanino; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Higher-dimensional quantum field theories; universal extra dimensions; Arkani-Hamed–Dimopolous–Dvali ADD model; hierarchy problem; Kaluza– Klein dark matter; neutrino mass; seesaw mechanism; leptonic mixing; renormalization group running; collider phenomenology; Large Hadron Collider;

   Abstract : This thesis is an investigation of the subject of extra dimensions in particle physics. In recent years, there has been a large interest in this subject. In particular, a number of models have been suggested that provide solutions to some of the problem with the current Standard Model of particle physics. READ MORE

6. 4. Astrophysical and Collider Signatures of Extra Dimensions

   Author : Henrik Melbéus; Tommy Ohlsson; Jörn Kersten; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extra-dimensional quantum field theories; universal extra dimensions; Kaluza-Klein dark matter; Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali model; hierarchy problem; neutrino mass; seesaw mechanism; Large Hadron Collider phenomenology; Elementary particle physics; Elementarpartikelfysik;

   Abstract : In recent years, there has been a large interest in the subject of extra dimensions in particle physics. In particular, a number of models have been suggested which provide solutions to some of the problems with the current Standard Model of particle physics, and which could be tested in the next generation of high-energy experiments.

7. 5. Phenomenology of Diffractive Higgs Production and Large Extra Dimensions

   Author : Malin Sjödahl; Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ADD; black holes; gravitational scattering; quantum field theory; Elementary particle physics; LHC; cosmic rays; Kosmisk strålning; högenergi; High energy interactions; kvantfältteori; Elementarpartikelfysik; Higgs; large extra dimensions; Diffractive;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on phenomenological predictions for high energy particle collisions from two different theoretical models. The first two papers deal with uncertainties in exclusive reactions of type proton + proton -> proton + proton + Higgs. READ MORE
