Large Extra Dimension Searches with the CMS Experiment — •Markus Radziej, Thomas Hebbeker, Arnd Meyer, Tobias Pook, and Stefan Schmitz — RWTH Aachen, III. Phys. Inst. A

With the Higgs Boson discovery at a mass of 125 GeV, the hierarchy problem becomes a pressing issue. One of the most prominent, potential solutions is the addition of extra spatial dimensions. A particularly interesting model has been suggested by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali, allowing for non-resonant excesses in the dilepton mass spectra at high energies.

This presentation concerns itself with the second generation of leptons. They are able to pierce the calorimeters and leave tracks in the muon system, distinguishing themselves from other elementary particles.

The analysis is based on the data recorded by the CMS experiment. Both the published √s = 8 TeV results and preliminary √s = 13 TeV ones will be presented.
