00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Ruiz Cembranos, José Alberto author Dobado González, Antonio author López Maroto, Antonio author 2007-06-22 In this work, we will review the main properties of braneworld models with low tension. Starting from very general principles, it is possible to obtain an effective action for the relevant degrees of freedom at low energies (branons). Using the cross sections for high-energy processes involving branons, we set bounds on the different parameters appearing in these models. We also show that branons provide a WIMP candidate for dark matter in a natural way. We consider cosmological constraints on its thermal and non-thermal relic abundances. We derive direct detection limits and compare those limits with the preferred parameter region in the case in which the EGRET excess in the diffuse galactic gamma rays is due to dark matter annihilation. Finally, we will discuss the constraints coming from the precision tests of the standard model and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. 1751-8113 10.1088/1751-8113/40/25/S07 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50665 http://iopscience.iop.org/1751-8121/40/25/S07 http://www.iop.org http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0611024 Some model-independent phenomenological consequences of flexible braneworlds
