Abstract: (arXiv)
We consider the Kaluza-Klein scenario in which gravity propagates in the 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 -formalism. We find that the new physics contributions to , and decouple in the limit that the string scale goes to infinity. The oblique parameters constrain the lower limit on . Taking the quantum gravity cutoff to be , -parameter constraints impose TeV for at the 1 level. -parameter constraints impose TeV for .Note:
