We discuss the collider bounds on minimal Universal Extra Dimension (mUED) model from LHC Run-I and II data. The phenomenology of mUED is determined by only two parameters namely, the compactification scale ($R^{-1}$) of the extra dimension…
We show that the bound from the electroweak data on the size of extra dimensions accessible to all the standard model fields is rather loose. These "universal" extra dimensions could have a compactification scale as low as 300 GeV for one…
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…

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…
We calculate the contributions of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes to the K_L-K_S mass difference \Delta M_K, the parameter \epsilon_K, the B^0_{d,s}-\bar B^0_{d,s} mixing mass differences \Delta M_{d,s} and rare decays K^+\to \pi^+\nu\bar\nu,…
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…

In universal extra-dimensional models a conserved $Z_2$ parity ensures the stability of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle, a potential dark-matter candidate. We show here that boundary-localized kinetic terms, in general, do not preserve…
If the Higgs does not propagate into an otherwise universal extra dimension, then tree-level Kaluza-Klein number is not conserved in the Yukawa interactions. This leads to mixing between zero-mode fermions and their associated Kaluza-Klein…
We clarify and study our previous observation that, under a compactification with boundaries or orbifolding, vacuum expectation value of a bulk scalar field can have different extra-dimensional wave-function profile from that of the lowest…
The minimal Universal Extra Dimension (mUED) model respects the Kaluza-Klein (KK) parity $(-1)^n$, where $n$ is the KK number. However, it is possible to have interactions located at only one of the two fixed points of the $S_1/\ztwo$…
Electroweak measurements place significant bounds on higher-dimensional versions of the standard model in which the gauge and Higgs fields have Kaluza-Klein excitations. These bounds may be altered quantitatively if chiral matter is also…
