Universal extra-dimensional models with boundary localized kinetic terms: Probing at the LHC

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: In universal extra-dimensional models a conserved ${Z}_{2}$ parity ensures the stability of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle, a potential dark-matter candidate. Boundary-localized kinetic terms, in general, do not preserve this symmetry. We examine, in the presence of such terms, the single production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the neutral electroweak gauge bosons and their decay to zero-mode fermion-antifermion pairs. We explore how experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN can constrain the boundary-localized kinetic terms for different choices of the compactification radius.
