Constraining minimal and non-minimal UED models with Higgs couplings
read the original abstract
Early indications from the LHC for the observed scalar boson imply properties close to the Standard Model Higgs, putting considerable constraints on TeV scale new physics scenarios. In this letter we consider flat extra dimensional scenarios with the fifth spatial dimension compactified on an S^1/Z_2 orbifold. We find in the minimal model the experimentally preferred effective Higgs couplings to gluon and photon at 95% confidence level disfavor the New Physics scale below 1.3 TeV. We demonstrate that a generalization of these models to include brane localized kinetic terms can relieve the tension to accommodate scales as low as 0.4 TeV.

Belle II Constraints on the Non-Minimal Universal Extra Dimensional Model
Belle II data on the rare B decay constrains the non-minimal UED model to require the inverse compactification radius to be at least ~900 GeV, while the minimal version yields no bound.
