Ultraviolet sensitivity of rare decays in nonuniversal extra dimensional models

Abstract

We consider a nonuniversal five dimensional model in which fermions are localised on a four dimensional brane, while gauge bosons and a scalar doublet can travel in the bulk. As a result of KK number non-conservation at the brane-bulk intersection, the ultraviolet divergence does not cancel out in some physical observables. For example, the $B_d\to l^{+}{l}^{-}$ decay amplitude is linearly divergent, while $B$--$\bar{B}$ mixing amplitude is log divergent. We attempt to identify the exact source of this nonrenormalizability. We compare and contrast our results with those obtained in the universal five dimensional model where all particles travel in the extra dimension.
