Exclusive $B \to K^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$, $B \to K^{(*)} \nu {\bar \nu}$ and $B \to K^* \gamma$ transitions in a scenario with a single Universal Extra Dimension

2006 
We analyze the exclusive rare $B \to K^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$, $B \to K^{(*)} \nu \bar \nu$ and $B \to K^* \gamma$ decays in the Applequist-Cheng-Dobrescu model, which is an extension of the Standard Model in presence of universal extra dimensions. In particular, we consider the case of a single universal extra dimension. We study how spectra, branching fractions and asymmetries depend on the compactification parameter 1/R, and whether the hadronic uncertainty due to the form factors obscures or not such a dependence. We find that, using present data, it is possible in many cases to put a sensible lower bound to 1/R, the most stringent one coming from $B \to K^* \gamma$. We also study how improved experimental data can be used to establish stronger constraints to this model.
