SN 1987A Constraints on Large Compact Dimensions

Open access
Cullen, Schuyler, Perelstein, Maxim·1999·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Recently there has been a lot of interest in models in which gravity becomes strong at the TeV scale. The observed weakness of gravitational interactions is then explained by the existence of extra compact dimensions of space, which are accessible to gravity but not to standard model particles. We consider graviton emission into these extra dimensions from a hot supernova core. The phenomenology of SN 1987A places strong constraints on this energy loss mechanism, allowing us to derive a bound on the fundamental Planck scale. For the case of two extra dimensions we obtain a very strong bound of $M\ensuremath{\gtrsim}50\mathrm{TeV}$, which corresponds to a radius $R\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.3\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
