Strong tree level unitarity violations in the extra dimensional Standard Model with scalars in the bulk
arXiv:hep-ph/0301059 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.67.076010
Abstract
We show how the tree level unitarity violations of compactified extra dimensional extensions of the Standard Model become much stronger when the scalar sector is included in the bulk. This effect occurs when the couplings are not suppressed for larger Kaluza-Klein levels, and could have relevant consequences for the phenomenology of the next generation of colliders. We also introduce a simple and generic formalism to obtain unitarity bounds for finite energies, taking into account coupled channels including the towers of Kaluza-Klein excitations.
