One-loop radiative correction to Kaluza-Klein masses in S2/Z2 universal extra-dimensional model

Abstract

We investigate a radiative correction to the masses of Kaluza-Klein(KK) modes in a universal extra dimensional model which are defined on a six-dimensional spacetime with extra space as a two-sphere orbifold $S^2/Z_2$. We first define the Feynman rules which are necessary for the calculation. We then calculate the one-loop diagrams which contribute to the radiative corrections to the KK masses, and obtain one-loop corrections to masses for fermions, gauge bosons and scalar bosons. We estimate the one-loop corrections to KK masses for the first KK modes of standard model particles as a function of momentum cut-off scale, and we determine the lightest KK particle which would be a promising candidate of a dark matter.
