Title : Graviscalars in Warped Extra Dimensions
Abstract:
Warped extra dimensions provide the setting for a number of modern models of natural electroweak symmetry breaking. Much attention has been paid to the gauge and fermion content of these models, however the phenomenology of moduli associated with extra-dimensional gravity may provide important evidence for these theories at future colliders. We discuss the couplings of such moduli to other light fields in specific models, frequently making contact with the strongly coupled 4-dimensional dual description for guidance. We outline the relevant modes for discovery, and the challenges involved in distinguishing the signals from those of a Standard Model Higgs boson. |
