Higgs mechanism in the Randall - Sundrum model
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the dimensional reduction of a bulk scalar field in the Randall-Sundrum model. By allowing the scalar field to be nonminimally coupled to the spacetime curvature we show that it is possible to generate spontaneous symmetry breaking on the brane. e-mail:[email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

Higgs 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...
متن کاملUnitarity constraints on the stabilized Randall-Sundrum scenario
The recently proposed stabilization mechanism for the Randall-Sundrum metric gives rise to a light scalar radion, that couples to matter much as the Standard Model Higgs. The characteristic scale for these couplings is ∼ O(1 TeV). Demanding that gauge boson scattering as described by the effective low energy theory be unitary upto a given energy scale leads to significant constraints on the par...
متن کاملOff-the-Wall Higgs in the Universal Randall-Sundrum Model
We outline a consistent Randall-Sundrum (RS) framework in which a fundamental 5-dimensional Higgs doublet induces electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). In this framework of a warped Universal Extra Dimension, the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode of the bulk Higgs is tachyonic leading to a vacuum expectation value (vev) at the TeV scale. The consistency of this picture imposes a set of constraint...
متن کاملEffects of Radion Mixing on the Standard Model Higgs Boson
We discuss how mixing between the Standard Model Higgs boson and the radion of the Randall-Sundrum model can lead to significant shifts in the expected properties of the Higgs boson. In particular we show that the total and partial decay widths of the Higgs, as well as the h→ gg branching fraction, can be substantially altered from their SM expectations, while the remaining branching fractions ...
متن کاملImplications of radion-higgs couplings for high energy scattering in the Randall-Sundrum model
In this report we derive the couplings of the Randall-Sundrum radion to the standard model higgs boson. We then use these couplings to determine the J=0 partial wave amplitude for the process hh → hφ. We find that at very high energies (i.e. s ≫ mh, mφ) the s wave partial wave unitarity is violated if mh > mc ≈ √ 16π〈φ〉v where 〈φ〉 is the radion vev. Interestingly this bound is independent of th...
