Abstract: (arXiv)
We consider the Kaluza-Klein scenario in which gravity propagates in the 4+n4+n dimensional bulk of spacetime and the Standard Model particles are confined to a 3-brane. We calculate the gauge boson self-energy corrections arising from the exchange of virtual gravitons and present our results in the STUSTU-formalism. We find that the new physics contributions to SS, TT and UU decouple in the limit that the string scale MSM_S goes to infinity. The oblique parameters constrain the lower limit on MSM_S. Taking the quantum gravity cutoff to be MSM_S, SS-parameter constraints impose MS>1.55M_S>1.55 TeV for n=2n=2 at the 1σ\sigma level. TT-parameter constraints impose MS>1.25(0.75)M_S>1.25 (0.75) TeV for n=3(6)n=3 (6).
