Search for Large Extra Dimensions in the Monojet + Missing ET Channel at D0

Abstract

We present a search for large extra dimensions (ED) in p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994-1996. Data corresponding to 78.8 +/- 3.9 pb^-1 are examined for events with large missing transverse energy, one high-p_T jet, and no isolated muons. With no excess beyond the background prediction from the standard model, we place limits on the fundamental Planck scale of 1 TeV (0.6 TeV) for 2 (7) ED.
