Introduction to Extra Dimensions

Understand

Extra dimensions provide a very useful tool in addressing a number of the fundamental problems faced by the Standard Model.

• The following provides a very basic introduction to this very broad subject area as given at the VIII School of the Gravitational and Mathematical Physics Division of the Mexican Physical Society in December 2009.
• Some prospects for extra dimensional searches at the 7 TeV LHC with $\sim$1 $fb^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity are provided.
