Vacuum Stability Constraints and LHC Searches for a Model with a
Universal Extra Dimension
   [PDF]

Anindya Datta, Sreerup Raychaudhuri
If the Higgs boson is confirmed to lie in the narrow mass range between 115 - 127 GeV, then stability of the electroweak vacuum in a minimal model with a universal extra dimension (mUED) will require a much lower cutoff for the theory than has been envisaged earlier. We show that this low cutoff would lead to important changes in much of the mUED phenomenology studied till now. In particular, prospects for LHC searches for n = 1 states are rather limited, while resonant n = 2 states may go completely undetected. Prospects for detection at the ILC and CLIC are less affected.
