Z boson decay to photon plus Kaluza-Klein graviton in large extra dimensions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-01-06 v4

Abstract

In the large extra dimensional ADD scenario, Z bosons undergo a one-loop decay into a photon and Kaluza-Klein towers of gravitons/gravi-scalars. We calculate such a decay width, extending previous arguments about the general form of the four-dimensional on-shell amplitude. The amplitudes calculated are relevant to processes in other extra dimensional models where the Standard Model fields are confined to a 4-brane.
