Universal Extra-Dimensional models with boundary terms: Probing at the LHC

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In universal extra-dimensional models a conserved Z_2 parity stabilizes the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle, a 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 constrain the boundary-localized kinetic terms for different compactification radii.
