Abstract
In this paper we use corrections to the -brane action to obtain a nonzero and positive cosmological constant in the induced cosmology living on the dark bubble. Its measured value together with the value of the fine structure constant correspond to a dark dimension of size and a string scale at 11 TeV. We conclude that the dark bubble model predicts deviations of Newtonian gravity and stringy excitations of known particles within reach of future experiments.

According to the dark bubble proposal, dark energy is realized on the boundary of the bubble if the tension of the nucleated brane is subcritical, i.e., with .

As we will see later the will not contribute at leading order and we will only have the direction transverse to the brane in to worry about. The extrinsic curvature then reduces to just .
