Cartography with Accelerators: Locating Fermions in Extra Dimensions at Future Lepton Colliders
In the model of Arkani-Hamed and Schmaltz the various chiral fermions of the
Standard Model(SM) are localized at different points on a thick wall which
forms an extra dimension. Such a scenario provides a way of understanding the
absence of proton decay and the fermion mass hierarchy in models with extra
dimensions. In this paper we explore the capability of future lepton colliders
to determine the location of these fermions in the extra dimension through
precision measurements of conventional scattering processes both below and on
top of the lowest lying Kaluza-Klein gauge boson resonance. We show that for
some classes of models the locations of these fermions can be very precisely
determined while in others only their relative positions can be well measured.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figs, LaTe
The Impact of Kaluza-Klein Excited W Boson on the Single Top at LHC and Comparison with other Models
We study the s-channel single top quark production at the LHC in the context
of extra dimension theories, including the Kaluza-Klein (KK) decomposition. It
is shown that the presence of the first KK excitation of gauge boson can
reduce the total cross section of s-channel single top production considerably
if () for () in
proton-proton collisions. Then the results will be compared with the impacts of
other beyond Standard Model (SM) theories on the cross section of single top
s-channel. The possibility of distinguishing different models via their effects
on the production cross section of the s-channel is discussed.Comment: 23 pages,6 figure
