The Excited Scalars of the Universal Extra Dimension Model
In the minimal Universal Extra Dimension (mUED) model, there are four
physical scalar particles at the n=1 level, two charged and two neutral. Due to
the almost degenerate nature of the spectrum, the detection of these scalars is
a major challenge, perhaps the greatest experimental challenge if UED-type new
physics is observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We explore the
possibility of detecting these particles at the International Linear Collider
(ILC), and emphasise the need of having an excellent soft tau detection
efficiency.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures: minor changes from v1, version to be publishe
