Some low energy effects of a light stabilized radion in the Randall-Sundrum model

A warped extra dimension model predicts an extra scalar particle beyond the Standard Model which is called a radion. Although interactions of the radion are similar to those of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model, a relatively light radion ($\lesssim 100 {\rm GeV}$) is not severely constrained from the Higgs search experiments at the LHC. In this paper we study discovery potential of the radion at a photon collider as an option of ILC. Owing to the trace anomaly of the ener...

With the data collected by LHC at 13 TeV, the CMS collaboration has searched for low mass resonances decaying into two photons. This has resulted in the observation of 3 sd excess around 95 GeV, reminiscent of an indication obtained at LEP2 by combining the Higgs boson searches of the four LEP experiments. These observations, marginally significant, motivate the present study which shows how HL-LHC and ILC250 could search for a radion, the lightest new particle predicted with...

In this paper we determine how the beta function for the top Yukawa coupling to one loop is modified by a light stabilized radion in the Randall-Sundrum model. We then use this beta function together with \beta (\lambda) to deteremine lower bounds on the radion vev <\phi> for different values of \lambda(m_z) and m_{\phi} by demanding that both g_t(\mu) and \lambda(\mu) should remain perturbative from m_z up ot the cut off \Lambda. We find that the lower bounds on <\phi> that ...

We discuss how mixing between the Standard Model Higgs boson, $h$, 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 $h\to gg$ branching fraction, can be substantially altered from their SM expectations, while the remaining branching fractions are modified less than $\lsim 5%$ for most of the parameter space volume....

A warped extra dimension model proposed by Randall and Sundrum(RS) is one of the attractive candidates to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in the Standard Model. In a simplest version of the RS model, there are only two extra particles beyond the Standard Model - a spin-2 graviton (and its Kaluza-Klein excitations) and a radion which is a spin-0 and electrically neutral particle. In this paper, we discuss a possibility of discovering the radion at a photon collider, which ha...

In this paper we study how the triviality bound on higgs mass in the context of the SM is modified by a light stabilized radion of the Goldberger-Wise variety. Our approach is inherently perturbative. Including the radion contribution to $\bt(\l)$ and $\bt(g_t)$ to one loop we evolve the higgs self coupling $\l$ from the cut off $\L(=\vphi)$ down to the EW scale $\mu_0 = v$. The triviality bound is obtained by requiring that $\l(\L) = \sqrt{4 \pi}$ which is the perturbative l...

We examine how mixing between the Standard Model(SM) Higgs boson, $h$, and the radion of the Randall-Sundrum model modifies the expected properties of the Higgs boson. In particular, we demonstrate that the total and partial decay widths of the Higgs, as well as the $h\to gg$ branching fraction, can be substantially altered from their SM expectations, while the remaining Higgs branching fractions are modified less than $\lsim 5%$ for most of the parameter region.

We study constraints on the radion mass and couplings in the Randall-Sundrum model from the recent LHC data on the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson searches. When the radion is heavy enough so that it can decay into a pair of on-shell Z-bosons, we find that the ZZ channel gives a stringent constraint. For example, if the radion mass m_\phi is 200 GeV, the scale \Lambda_\phi which characterizes the interactions of the radion with the SM fields must be larger than 5 TeV. Even fo...

We study the resonance production of radions and Higgs via gluon-gluon fusion in the Randall-Sundrum model with Higgs-curvature mixing at the LHC. We find that radion can be detected both in mixed (with Higgs boson) and unmixed case if the radion vacuum expectation value $\Lambda_\phi$ is around 1 TeV. The $\Lambda_\phi \sim 10$ TeV case is also promising for certain values of mixing parameters and radion masses. The mixing can affect the production and decay of Higgs boson i...

We consider Higgs pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in a Randall-Sundrum scenario containing a radion field. It is shown that the enhanced effective coupling of the radion to gluons, together with contributions from a low-lying radion pole, can provide larger event rates compared to most new physics possibilities considered so far. We present the results for both an intermediate mass Higgs and a heavy Higgs, with a detailed discussion of the background elimin...
