Physics of the radion in the Randall-Sundrum scenario

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

In the Randall-Sundrum solution to the hierarchy problem, the fluctuations of the size of the extra dimension are characterized by a single scalar field, called the radion. The radion is expected to have a mass somewhat lower than the TeV scale with couplings of order 1/TeV to the trace of the energy momentum tensor. In addition, the radion can mix with the Higgs boson. Implications for phenomenology are briefly reviewed.
