Title

Do extra compactified dimensions of space cause a substructure underlying the expected eigenstates of a molecule?

Abstract
Experimental results on NO2 are explained based on the ADD-model of large extra compactified dimensions of space. We assume that gravity is sufficiently strong in a compactification space of the size of the molecule to affect the vibrational motion of the nuclei by causing an asymmetric perturbation in the symmetric stretch vibrational motion of the optically excited state. At the same excitation energy, there are also other electronic states of different symmetry (conical intersection of potential energy surfaces), which may couple with the optically excited state. Due to the gravitational perturbation the nuclei being in the symmetric stretch vibration mode of the optically excited electronic state pass over into the asymmetric stretch vibration mode of an isoenergetic electronic state. This parity conserving change of the vibronic wave function enhances a small gravitational perturbation to an optically detectable signal. The perturbation is associated with a time constant of about 3 ms, which we attribute to fluctuations of the shape of the compactification space induced by a background cosmic field.
