Collider Phenomenology with Split-UED

Kong, Kyoungchul, Park, Seong Chan, Rizzo, Thomas G.

Understand

We investigate the collider implications of Split Universal Extra Dimensions.

  • The non-vanishing fermion mass in the bulk, which is consistent with the KK-parity, largely modifies the phenomenology of Minimal Universal Exta Dimensions.
  • We scrutinize the behavior of couplings and study the discovery reach of the Tevatron and the LHC for level-2 Kaluza-Klein modes in the dilepton channel, which would indicates the presence of the extra dimensions.
  • Observation of large event rates for dilepton resonances can result from a nontrivial fermion mass profile along the extra dimensions, which, in turn, may corroborate extra dimensional explanation for the observation of the positron excess in cosmic rays.
