Tools…meaning…
• Calculations• Generators
• Generators + detector simulation• Cosmological XtraD’s• Accelerator XtraD’s
• …
I will concentrate on Generatorsfor accelerator searches of XtraD’s
and in a very biased way, on what I know best…

and for event generation for any model of particle interaction.Alexander Pukhov http://theory.sinp.msu.ru/~pukhov/calchep.html

Peter Skands etal. http://projects.hepforge.org/pythia6/
• PYTHIA_UEDA generator tool which uses Pythia to produce events in the Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) model
of Appelquist, Cheng and Dobrescu [Phys.Rev.D64 (2001) 035002], with 1 extra dimensionand as well with additional gravity mediated decays [Macesanu etal. Phys.Lett. B546 (2002) 253].

And most certainly other tools-generators (private as well as public)And most certainly other tools-generators (private as well as public)which I have and haven’t heard about…which I have and haven’t heard about…
Personally,I’ve never used:
PANDORA
We (ATLAS colleagues M.ElKacimi, D.Goudjdami, H.P.)have played with
CalcHEPand have used
CompHEPfor the Universal Extra Dimensions model.
Which lead us to modify PYTHIA in order to generate “UED events”PYTHIA_UED
We (ATLAS colleagues G.Azuelos etal.) had usedPYTHIA
+an adapted HDECAY for the Randall Sundrum model with a radionbut in the meantime, the RS graviton has been implemented
thanks to some ATLAS collaborators
Looking for the Randall Sundrum Model
A reminder of the Randall Sundrum Model
How can the weak scale be related to the Planck scale Mweak Mplanck ?
R&S were somehow inspired by theArkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali (ADD) model :
Planck scale is « brought down » to the TeV scaleusing 1 non factorisable xtraD
which doesn’t need to be 16 orders of magnitude large!
Universe made of two 4-dimensional branessandwiching a slice of 5-d spacetime.
SM fields live on the TeV brane (y=)while gravity lives everywhere :
on the TeV and Planck (y=0) branes,as well as in the bulkKK excitations of the graviton

Universal Extra Dimensions (UEDs)
A review of the Universal Extra Dimensions (UEDs) model“Universal” == ALL SM particles propagate into the XtraD(s)
n=1,2,3,… Kaluza Klein (KK) excitations for each SM particle of mass
mn2=n2/R2 + mSM
2
n=0 corresponds to the SM particleR : compactification scale ; Λ : cutoff scale above which the theory is no longer valid
Momentum is conserved in the extra dimensions.In 3D (3D+t), this implies conservation of the KK number:
never a vertex with only one KK excitation hence KK particles are always produced in pairs
A bit of UED zoologyQ (Doublet), U and D (Singlets) fields describe the quarks in (4+) dimensions
e.g. for the 3rd generation first level particlesQ(0)
3(t,b)L
U(0)3tR and D(0)
3bR
For each fermion 1 tower/chiral state ==2 towers/quark flavor, 2 towers/lepton, 1 tower/neutrino
Bosons WBosons W3j3j and B and Bjj
mix within each level, as in the SM (level 0). mix within each level, as in the SM (level 0).
Each Higgs boson KK level is composed of:Each Higgs boson KK level is composed of:1 charged Higgs, 1 scalar CP-odd Higgs of mass M1 charged Higgs, 1 scalar CP-odd Higgs of mass M j j and 1 scalar CP-even of mass and 1 scalar CP-even of mass (M(M22
jj+m+m22hh))
The interactions between the Higgs field, the gauge bosons and the fermionsThe interactions between the Higgs field, the gauge bosons and the fermionsare described by the same couplings as those for the SMare described by the same couplings as those for the SM
“n=1” KK states – a very degenerate situationAll SM particles have practically the same mass == 1/R (compactification scale)
Below : 1/R = 500 GeV
Radiative Corrections – larger mass splittings
KK number is conserved at the tree level, but can be violated in first order loops
First order corrections can bring large contributions to the KK masses.Tree level radiative corrections
~20% for strongly interacting particles (heaviest being the gluon)<10% for leptons and EW bosons (lightest being the photon)
SM quark and gluon KK excitations will cascade decay to theLightest Kaluza Klein Particle (LKP) : *
(Minimal)UED scenario
Fermions and bosons live in a 4+δ ( R ~ TeV-1 ) dimensional “thick” braneembedded in a larger 4+N ( size ~ eV-1 ; e.g. N=2 ) bulk where only gravitons propagate.
No a priori constraints on the number of UEDs.Study the δ =1 case.
With radiative corrections to the massesthe KK excitations of SM quarks and gluons decay in a cascade
down to the Lightest KK Particle : the LKP *
The additional ingredient of gravity mediated decays (e.g. of the LKP)
KK excitations would also decay through KK number violating interactions mediated by gravity.When decay widths of first level KK excitations due to mass splitting
gravity mediated decay widths,
gluon and quark excitations will decay in a cascade down to the * which in turn will decay as* G
Large density of states for the KK gravitons in the 5th Dthe splitting between adjacent levels is of order eV

Use Pythia 6.2 for the hadronization and decay
while introducing UED particles into Pythia (PYTHIA_UED).
It’s possible but rather complicated…

• Gravitational decay widths (e.g.for * G) and graviton mass expression(Phys.Rev.D68, 084008 (2003) hep-ph-0305029and Phys.Lett. B482 (2000) 195-204. hep-ph-0001335)

This is not a commercial for pythia.
RS and UED with PYTHIA is everything in one code.Nonetheless valuable Xsection calculations with CompHEP
Both groups of authorsand all theoreticians were very helpful.
