They may also provide a solution to the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model, through modifications of the strength of the gravitational force. This talk explores the theoretical motivations to search for evidence of extra dimensions in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, and presents recent results of such searches by the CMS experiment 4138 Physics Research Building America/New_York public
