Abstract

In theories with the standard model gauge bosons propagating in TeV <sup>-1</sup> -size extra dimensions, their Kaluza-Klein states interact with the rest of the SM particles confined to the 3-brane. We look for possible signals for this interaction in the present high-energy collider data, and estimate the sensitivity offered by the next generation of collider experiments. Based on the present data from the CERN LEP 2, Fermilab Tevatron, and DESY HERA experiments, we set a lower limit on the extra dimension compactification scale M <sub>C</sub> >6.8 TeV at the 95% confidence level (dominated by the LEP 2 results) and quote expected sensitivities in the Tevatron Run 2 and at the CERN LHC.
