This section includes limits on on-shell production of gravitons in collider and astrophysical processes. Bounds quoted are on $\mathit R$, the assumed common radius of the flat extra dimensions, for $\delta $ = 2 extra dimensions. Studies often quote bounds in terms of derived parameter; experiments are actually sensitive to the masses of the KK gravitons: $\mathit m_{\vec n}$ = $\vert \vec n\vert /\mathit R$. See the Review on “Extra Dimensions” for details. Bounds are given in $\mu $m for $\delta $ = 2.
