We investigate unitarity of $W^+W^-$ scattering in the context of theory space models of the form $U(1)\times {[SU(2)]}^N\times SU(2)_{N+1}$, which are broken down to $U(1)_{EM}$ by non-linear $\Sigma$ fields, without the presence of a…
Universal Extra Dimension (UED) model is one of the popular extension of the Standard Model (SM) which offers interesting phenomenology. In the minimal UED (mUED) model, Kaluza-Klein (KK) parity conservation ensures that $n=1$ KK states can…
The Kaluza-Klein fermion excitations induce mixing between the Standard Model fermions and loss of universality. The flavour mixing not present in the Standard Model can be made to vanish aligning the Yukawa couplings and the Dirac masses…
In theories with the standard model gauge bosons propagating in inverse-TeV-size extra dimensions, their Kaluza-Klein states interact with the rest of the SM particles confined to the 3-brane. We look for possible signals for this…
The collider phenomenology of models with Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) is surprisingly similar to that of supersymmetric (SUSY) scenarios. For each level-1 bosonic (fermionic) Kaluza-Klein (KK) state, there is a fermionic (bosonic)…
We review Electroweak breaking in warped Extra Dimensions and show how it is constrained by Electroweak precision tests. We then proceed to describe a model which is based on a bulk Higgs field and a metric that is deformed from the usual…
The constraints on the radion evolution in the Universal Extra Dimension (UED) model from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) data are studied. In the UED model, where both the gravity and standard model fields…
In extra dimension theories, where the gauge bosons of the standard model propagate in the bulk of the extra dimensions, there are Kaluza-Klein excitations of the standard model gauge bosons that can couple to the standard model fermions.…
We study the $p\bar p$ production and decay of exotic quarks that are predicted by the SU(3)$\times$U(1) extension of the Standard Model. We show that recent experimental searches for SUSY particles at the Tevatron limit the mass of these…
We discuss the signatures, at the LHC, of the (1,0)-th Kaluza-Klein (KK) gluon and quarks in the framework of the two universal extra dimensional (2UED) model. Once produced, these particles typically suffer a cascade of decays terminating…
Electroweak symmetry can be naturally broken by observed quark and gauge fields in various extra-dimensional configurations. No new {\it fundamental} fields are required below the quantum gravitational scale ($\sim$ 10 - 100 TeV). We…
If there is new physics associated with the top quark, it could show up as anomalous couplings of the top quark to weak gauge bosons, such as $Z\ttbar$ and $W\tbbar$ vector and axial-vector couplings. We use the processes $\ttbar\to…
Astrophysical constraints of new physics are often limited to weakly interacting light particles, such as axions, the Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons from the ADD model, sterile neutrinos and unparticles. We discuss the possibility for an…
We use conditions for unitarity cancellations to constrain the couplings of the top and bottom quarks to Kaluza-Klein modes in Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking. An example for the mass spectrum of quark resonances in a…
Precise measurements of Z-boson parameters and W-boson and t-quark masses put strong constraints on non SU(2) * U(1) singlet New Physics. We demonstrate that one extra generation passes electroweak constraints even when all new particle…
We consider a minimal extension to higher dimensions of the Standard Model, having one compactified dimension, and we study its experimental tests in terms of electroweak data. We discuss tests from high-energy data at the $Z$-pole, and…
Models with an orbifolded universal extra dimension receive important loop-induced corrections to the masses and couplings of Kaluza-Klein (KK) particles. The dominant contributions stem from so-called boundary terms which violate KK…
Combining the constraints coming from the ~$M_W$ ~measurements and the unsuccesful search for the Higgs boson at LEP we determine in the framework of MSSM the allowed mass regions for the lighter scalar partner of the top quark. For a heavy…
Minimal universal extra dimensions (mUED) is often thought to predict that the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle (LKP) is the Kaluza-Klein gauge boson B^1, leading to conventional missing energy signals at colliders and WIMP dark matter. In…
In view of the fact that the $n = 1$ Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in a model with a Universal Extra Dimension (UED), could mimic supersymmetry signatures at the LHC, it is necessary to look for the $n = 2$ KK modes, which have no analogues in…
