Besides supersymmetry, the other prime candidate of physics beyond the standard model (SM), crying out for verification at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is extra-dimension. To hunt for effects of Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of…

In the minimal Universal Extra Dimension (mUED) model, the second Kaluza-Klein (KK) gluon $g^{(2)}$ has loop-induced vertices with the standard model quarks, mediated by the first KK modes of the quark and the gluon/Higgs boson. With a top…
In the universal extra dimensions models, Kaluza Klein excitations of matter are generaly produced in pairs. However, if matter lives on a fat brane embedded in a larger space, gravity-matter interactions do not obey KK number conservation,…
Double-lepton polarization asymmetries for the exclusive decay B->K_1 l^+ l^- in the Universal Extra Dimension (UED) Model is studied. It is obtained that double-lepton polarization asymmetries are very sensitive to the UED model…
Models of Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) at the TeV scale lead to the presence of Kaluza Klein (KK) excitations of the ordinary fermions and bosons of the Standard Model that may be observed at hadron and lepton colliders. A conserved…
The presence of extra dimensions can be probed in high energy collisions via the production or exchange of gravitons. The former corresponds to signatures with missing energy while the latter corresponds to modifications of the final state…

In models with compact extra dimensions, where the Standard Model fields are confined to a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane, the $t \bar t$ production cross-section at a hadron collider can receive significant contributions from multiple exchange…
We define a minimal model with Universal Extra Dimensions, and begin to study its phenomenology. The collider signals of the first KK level are surprisingly similar to those of a supersymmetric model with a nearly degenerate superpartner…
We point out a dramatic new experimental signature for a class of theories with extra dimensions, where quarks and leptons are localized at slightly separated parallel ``walls'' whereas gauge and Higgs fields live in the bulk of the extra…
Results are presented from a search for large, extra spatial dimensions in events with either two isolated muons or two isolated electrons. The data are from proton-proton interactions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected with the CMS detector at…
We present a general model with universal extra dimensions in the presence of the bulk fermion masses and boundary localized kinetic terms, which are generically allowed by symmetries of five dimensional gauge theory. We provide a…
Although they do not address the hierarchy problem, models with Universal Extra Dimensions have attracted a lot of attention as simple benchmark models characterized by small mass splittings and a dark matter WIMP played by the Lightest…
Generically, universal extra dimension (UED) extensions of the standard model predict the stability of the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle and hence provide a dark matter candidate. For UED scenarios with one extra dimension, we…
We consider the universal extra dimensions scenario of Appelquist, Cheng, and Dobrescu, in which all of the SM fields propagate into one extra compact dimension, estimated therein to be as large as $\sim (350$ GeV$)^{-1}$. Tree-level KK…
We analyze the potentiality of hadron colliders to search for large extra dimensions via the production of photon pairs. The virtual exchange of Kaluza--Klein gravitons can significantly enhance this processes provided the quantum gravity…

We report on the current status of non-minimal universal extra dimension (UED) models. Our emphasis is on the possible extension of the minimal UED model by allowing bulk masses and boundary localized terms. We take into account the data…
