Global Lepton-Quark Neutral Current Constraint on Low Scale Gravity Model

Abstract

We perform a global analysis of the lepton-quark neutral current data on the low scale gravity model, which arises from the extra dimensions. The global data include HERA neutral current deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-yan production at the Tevatron, and fermion pair production at LEPII. The Drell-yan production, due to the large invariant mass data, provides the strongest constraint. Combining all data, the effective Planck scale must be larger than about 1.12 TeV for $n=3$ and 0.94 TeV for $n=4$ at 95%CL.

Comments: Analysis is updated with the newest ZEUS NC DIS data, which appeared after the first submission. Numerical results change slightly
