Abstract
In the Randall-Sundrum (RS) compactification, the gap between two branes is stabilized by the vacuum expectation value of a scalar field called {\it radion}, . This radion behaves like a weak interaction singlet scalar field, coupling to matter through the trace of the energy momentum tensor. We find that it can induce a sizable correction to the weak mixing angle if the vacuum expectation value and the mass of the radion is around TeV. We also comment on the contribution to the mass difference and to .
