Kaluza-Klein Mesons in Universal Extra Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

In models with universal extra dimensions, the isosinglet Kaluza-Klein (KK) quarks, q^1, have very narrow widths, of O(5-10) MeV, and will thus hadronize. Studies of KK-quarkonia, \bar{q}^1 q^1, show very sharp resonances and dramatic signatures at the Linear Collider. In this Brief Report, we consider the possibility of detecting KK-mesons, \bar{q}^1 q, and show that detection at a Linear Collider is unlikely.
