The Kaluza-Klein electron decays into a nearly degenerate Kaluza-Klein photon and a standard electron, the former carrying away missing energy. The Kaluza-Klein electron and photon states are heavy with their masses around the inverse radius of compactification, and their splitting is controlled by radiative corrections originating from bulk and brane-localised interactions. We look for the signal event $e^+e^- +$ large missing energy for $\\sqrt s = 1$ TeV and observe that with a few hundred fb$^{-1}$ luminosity the signal will be readily detectable over the standard model background. We comment on how this signal may be distinguished from similar events from other new physics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-09-02T10:32:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.60.Hi", "12.60.-i" ], "keywords": [ "international linear collider", "probing universal extra dimension", "first kaluza-klein electron positron pair" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 676098 } } }
