چکیده
We consider Kaluza–Klein dark matter from deconstructed or latticized universal extra dimensions and study in this model the positron flux from Kaluza–Klein dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo.

Spinless photon dark matter from two universal extra dimensions
We explore the properties of dark matter in theories with two universal extra dimensions, where the lightest Kaluza-Klein state is a spin-0 neutral particle, representing a six-dimensional photon polarized along the extra dimensions. Annihilation of this ‘spinless photon’ proceeds predominantly through Higgs boson exchange, and is largely independent of other Kaluza-Klein particles. The measure...
متن کاملZ ′ Signals from Kaluza - Klein Dark Matter
In a minimal model of universal extra dimensions the lightest Kalzua-Klein particle is neutral and stable because of Kaluza-Klein parity conservation and it is a dark matter candidate. The corresponding level 2 mode of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle can be detected via KK number violating decays to Standard Model particles. The expected sensitivity to second level Kaluza-Klein modes of neut...
متن کاملDark Matter from Lorentz Invariance and the LHC
In extra dimensional models, a Dark Matter candidate can be present thanks to a Kaluza-Klein parity which makes the lightest resonances stable. However, compactifications considered sofar need the symmetry to be imposed by hand on the model: here we propose the unique orbifold in 6 dimensions where such parity arises naturally as part of the unbroken 6D Lorentz invariance. As an example we intr...
متن کاملNew Developments in Extra-dimensional Dark Matter
We summarize the main features of several dark matter candidates in extra-dimensional theories. In particular, we review Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons in universal extra dimensions and branons in brane-world models. KK gravitons are superWIMP (superweakly-interacting massive particle) dark matter, and branons are WIMP (weakly-interacting massive particle) dark matter. Both dark matter candidates ...
متن کاملPrecise Calculation of the Relic Density of Kaluza-Klein Dark Matter in Universal Extra Dimensions
We revisit the calculation of the relic density of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle (LKP) in the model of Universal Extra Dimensions. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle spectrum at level one is rather degenerate, and various coannihilation processes may be relevant. We extend the calculation of hep-ph/0206071 to include coannihilation processes with all level one KK particles. In our computation ...
