Abstract
We study the feasibility of producing the graviton of the novel Kaluza-Klein theory in which there are d large compact dimensions in addition to the dimensions of Minkowski spacetime. We calculate the cross section for producing such a graviton in nucleus-nucleus collisions via t-channel fusion using the semiclassical Weizsäcker-Williams method and show that it can exceed the cross section for graviton production in electron-positron scattering by several orders of magnitude.
