In this thesis we have put the first constraints on t he fundamental parameters of the Randall-Sundnun model of extra dimensions, $$k / M_{pl}$$ which is proportional to the coupling of the graviton to the standard model fields and $$M_G$$ which is the mass of the first excited state of t he Kaluza-Klein graviton. The analysis perfomed on Monte carlo sample of the sign al allowed to find an error in the PYTHIA generator. The elaboration of an independent generator dedicated for this special analysis helped to find out and correct the error. The data sample used for the an alysis covers the period running fron1 november 2002 up to July 2002 taken by the Dzero collaboration at Tevatron, which corresponds to an accumulated lumninosity of 107,8 pb-1 . The search for the graviton in the dinmon channel allowed to rnea.sure the Z production cross-section t irnes the branching ratio in dimuons.
