Bulk Gauge Fields in the Randall - Sundrum Model ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore the consequences of placing the Standard Model gauge fields in the bulk of the recently proposed localized gravity model of Randall and Sundrum. We find that the Kaluza Klein excitations of these fields are necessarily strongly coupled and we demonstrate that current precision electroweak data constrain the lowest states to lie above ' 23 TeV. Taking the weak scale to be ∼ 1 TeV, the resulting implications on the model parameters force the bulk curvature to be larger than the higher dimensional Planck scale, violating the consistency of the theory. Hence we conclude that it is disfavored to place the Standard Model gauge fields in the bulk of this model as it is presently formulated. ∗Work supported by the Department of Energy, Contract DE-AC03-76SF00515

Brane - localized Kinetic Terms in the Randall - Sundrum Model
We examine the effects of boundary kinetic terms in the Randall-Sundrum model with gauge fields in the bulk. We derive the resulting gauge Kaluza-Klein (KK) state wavefunctions and their corresponding masses, as well as the KK gauge field couplings to boundary fermions, and find that they are modified in the presence of the boundary terms. In particular, for natural choices of the parameters, t...
متن کاملTesting the seesaw mechanism at collider energies in the Randall-Sundrum model
The Randall-Sundrum model with gauge fields and fermions in the bulk has several attractive features including the gauge coupling unification, a candidate for the dark matter, and an explanation for the hierarchical Yukawa couplings. In this paper, we point out that the 1st Kaluza-Klein modes of right-handed neutrinos may be produced at colliders, for both Dirac and Majorana neutrino cases. Fur...
متن کاملBB̄ mixing with the bulk fields in the Randall-Sundrum model
We calculate the BB̄ mixing in the Randall-Sundrum bulk model. In this model, all the Standard Model fields except the Higgs can reside in the bulk. Two suggestive models of ”mixed” and ”relaxed” scenarios are considered. We find that the enhancement of the loop function is 0.51% for the ”relaxed” and 1.07% for the ”mixed” scenario when the first 4th KK modes are included, for a bulk fermion mas...
متن کاملFermion Masses, Mixings and Proton Decay in a Randall-Sundrum Model
We consider a Randall-Sundrum model in which the Standard Model fermions and gauge bosons correspond to bulk fields. We show how the observed charged fermion masses and CKM mixings can be explained, without introducing hierarchical Yukawa couplings. We then study the impact on the mass scales associated with nonrenormalizable operators responsible for proton decay, neutrino masses, and flavor c...
متن کاملHiggs mechanism and bulk gauge boson masses in the Randall-Sundrum model
Assuming the breaking of gauge symmetries by the Higgs mechanism, we consider the associated bulk gauge boson masses in the Randall-Sundrum background. With the Higgs field confined on the TeV-brane, the W and Z boson masses are naturally an order of magnitude smaller than their Kaluza-Klein excitation masses. The electroweak precision data require the lowest excited state to lie above about 30...
