In the universal extra-dimensions models, Kaluza-Klein excitations of matter are generally produced in pairs. However, if matter lives on a fat brane embedded in a larger space, gravity-matter interactions do not obey KK number-conservation, thus making possible the production of single KK excitations at colliders. We evaluate the production rates for such excitations at the Tevatron and LHC colliders, and look for ways to detect them.
