Kaluza - Klein Excitations of W and Z at the LHC ? Stephan

چکیده
Deviations from standard electroweak physics arise in the framework of a Randall-Sundrum model, with matter and gauge fields in the bulk and the Higgs field localized on the TeV brane. We focus in particular on modifications associated with the weak mixing angle. Comparison with the electroweak precision data yields a rather stringent lower bound of about 10 TeV on the masses of the lowest Kaluza-Klein excitation of the W and Z bosons. With some optimistic assumptions the bound could be lowered to about 7 TeV. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

متن کاملProbing the Nature of Compactification with Kaluza-Klein Excitations at the Large Hadron Collider
It is shown that the nature of compactification of extra dimensions in theories of large radius compactification can be explored in several processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Specifically it is shown that the characteristics of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations encode information on the nature of compactification, i.e., on the number of compactified dimensions as well as on the type ...
متن کاملDistinguishing Kaluza-Klein Resonances From a Z ′ in Drell-Yan Processes at the LHC
We explore the capability of the LHC to distinguish the production of Kaluza-Klein(KK) excitations in Drell-Yan collisions from an ordinary Z′ at the LHC in the case of one extra dimension with the fermions localized at the orbifold fixed points. In particular, we demonstrate that this capability is dependent on both the mass of the KK state as well as whether or not the quarks and leptons lie ...

With one extra dimension, current high precision electroweak data constrain the masses of the first Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard Model gauge fields to lie above ≃ 4 TeV. States with masses not much larger than this should be observable at the LHC. However, even for first excitation masses close to this lower bound, the second set of excitations will be too heavy to be produced thus ...
متن کاملGaugephobic Higgs Signals at the LHC
The Gaugephobic Higgs model provides an interpolation between three different models of electroweak symmetry breaking: Higgsless models, Randall-Sundrum models, and the Standard Model. At parameter points between the extremes, Standard Model Higgs signals are present at reduced rates, and Higgsless Kaluza-Klein excitations are present with shifted masses and couplings, as well as signals from e...
