Universal Extra Dimensions and Kaluza-Klein Bound States
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the bounds states of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of quarks in models of Universal Extra Dimensions. Such bound states may be detected at future lepton colliders in the cross section for the pair-production of KKquarks near threshold. For typical values of model parameters, we find the “KK-quarkonia” have widths in the 10-100 MeV range, and production cross sections of order a few picobarns for the lightest resonances. Two body decays of the constituent KK-quarks lead to distinctive experimental signatures.

Kaluza–Klein Dark Matter from Deconstructed Universal Extra Dimensions
We consider Kaluza–Klein dark matter from deconstructed or latticized universal extra dimensions and study in this model the positron flux from Kaluza–Klein dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo.
متن کاملBounds on Kaluza-Klein excitations of the SM vector bosons from electroweak tests
Within a minimal extension of the SM in 4 + 1 dimensions, we study how Kaluza Klein excitations of the SM gauge bosons affect the electroweak precision observables. Asymmetries in Z decays provide the dominant bound on the compactification scale M of the extra dimension. If the higgs is so light that will be discovered at LEP2, we find the following 95%C.L. bounds: M > 3.5TeV (if the higgs live...
متن کاملDark Matter from Lorentz Invariance and the LHC
In extra dimensional models, a Dark Matter candidate can be present thanks to a Kaluza-Klein parity which makes the lightest resonances stable. However, compactifications considered sofar need the symmetry to be imposed by hand on the model: here we propose the unique orbifold in 6 dimensions where such parity arises naturally as part of the unbroken 6D Lorentz invariance. As an example we intr...
متن کاملGravitational and Cosmological Properties of a Brane-universe
The traditional view on extra-dimensions is the Kaluza-Klein picture: the matter fields live in compact (usually flat) extra-dimensions, and their Fourier expansion along the extra-coordinates lead to an infinite collection of so-called Kaluza-Klein modes, which can be interpreted as four-dimensional fields. Their mass spectrum is very specific since it is discrete with a mass gap of the order ...

We analyze the muon anomalous magnetic moment in the context of universal extra dimensions. Our computation shows that the bound from electroweak data on the size of these dimensions allows only a small shift in the muon magnetic moment given by Kaluza-Klein modes of standard model fields. In the well-motivated case of two universal extra dimensions, additional contributions arising from physic...
