Probes Of Universal Extra Dimensions at Colliders ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Universal Extra Dimensions model of Appelquist, Cheng and Dobrescu, all of the Standard Model fields are placed in the bulk and thus have Kaluza-Klein(KK) excitations. These KK states can only be pair produced at colliders due to the tree-level conservation of KK number, with the lightest of them being stable and possibly having a mass as low as ' 350 − 400 GeV. After calculating the contribution to g − 2 in this model we investigate the production cross sections and signatures for these particles at both hadron and lepton colliders. We demonstrate that these signatures critically depend upon whether the lightest KK states remain stable or are allowed to decay by any of a number of new physics mechanisms. These mechanisms which induce KK decays are studied in detail. ∗Work supported by the Department of Energy, Contract DE-AC03-76SF00515

We review the phenomenology of models with flat, compactified extra dimensions where all of the Standard Model fields are allowed to propagate in the bulk, known as Universal Extra Dimensions (UED). UED make for an interesting TeV-scale physics scenario, featuring a tower of Kaluza-Klein (KK) states approximately degenerate in mass at the scale set by the inverse size of the compactification ra...

متن کاملUniversal Extra Dimensions at the e − e − Colliders ∗
Universal Extra Dimensions (UEDs) with compactification radius near the TeV scale provide interesting phenomenology at future colliders. The collider signals of the first Kaluza-Klein (KK) level are very similar to those of a supersymmetric model with a nearly degenerate superpartner spectrum. The heavier first level KK states cascade decay to the lightest KK particles (LKP), which is neutral a...
متن کاملMinimal Universal Extra Dimensions
Highly degenerate spectra associated with universal extra dimensions (UED) provide an interesting phenomenology not only from the point of view of cosmology and astrophysics, but also for colliders. We study these exotic signals for the simplest case, called minimal UED, where it is natural to find slow charged particles, displaced vertices, tracks with non-vanishing impact parameters, track ki...
متن کاملLarge Extra Dimensions at Linear Colliders
In this talk, I first present the motivation for theories wherein the extra spacetime dimensions can be compactified to have large magnitudes. In particular, I discuss the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali (ADD) scenario. I present the constraints that have been derived on these models from current experiments and the expectations from future colliders. I concentrate particularly on the possibili...
