  • Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions

    by Sreerup Raychaudhuri, K. Sridhar ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
    The possibility that we live in a higher-dimensional world with spatial dimensions greater than three started with the early work of Kaluza and Klein. However, in addressing experimental constraints, early model-builders were forced to compactify these extra dimensions to very tiny scales. With the development of brane-world scenarios it became possible to consider novel compactifications which ... Read more
