Abstract: We discuss the results of extensive numerical simulations in order to estimate the scaling exponents associated with kinetic roughening in higher dimensions, up to d=7+1. To this end, we study the restricted solid - on - solid growth model, for which we employ a novel fitting {it ansatz} for the spatially averaged height correlation function $$ to estimate the scaling exponent $$. Using this method, we present a quantitative determination of $$ in d=3+1 and 4+1 dimensions. To check the consistency of these results, we also compute the interface width and determine $$ and $chi$ from it independently. Our results are in disagreement with all existing theories and conjectures, but in four dimensions they are in good agreement with recent simulations of Forrest and Tang [{it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {�f 64}:1405 (1990)] for a different growth model. Above five dimensions, we use the time dependence of the width to obtain lower bound estimates for $$. Within the accuracy of our data, we find no indication of an upper critical dimension up to d=7+1.
