    3332Theory with D = 4 + 1 dimensions, in which the extra dimension is spatial and assumed to be compactified to be a torus with radius R. Here, the total space-time has a warped metric and the size of the extra dimension  can be at the order of the Planck length. Again, only spin-2 particles can propagate through 5 dimensions, therefore, a massive KK tower of spin-2 particles appear in 4 dimensions. They can interact with the SM fields with a strong coupling constant given by -1/Λ:

    3735$\Lambda = \overline{M_{pl}} \, e^{kR\pi}$
     
    3937where k is a scale of order of the Planck scale. In this model, the mass of the nth spin-2 particle is given by:

    6158The graviton is massless in this class of theories and its coupling to the SM particles is given by -1/Λ:
