Radion effects on the production of an intermediate-mass scalar and Z at LEP II

چکیده
We have studied the e+e− → Zφi → Zbb̄ process, where φi is the Higgs and/or radion bosons. In the case where the radion is lighter than the Higgs, the enhanced coupling between the radion and two gluons due to the trace anomaly suppresses the cross section of radion production with respect to that calculated by assuming that the resonant peak indicates the SM Higgs. If the radion is highly degenerate in mass with the Higgs, the cross section can be increased more than at one sigma level. The implications of the radion effects on the preliminary ALEPH data are also discussed.

Search for Radions at LEP2
A new scalar resonance, called the radion, with couplings to fermions and bosons similar to those of the Higgs boson, is predicted in the framework of Randall-Sundrum models, proposed solutions to the hierarchy problem with one extra dimension. An important distinction between the radion and the Higgs boson is that the radion would couple directly to gluon pairs, and in particular its decay pro...
متن کاملProduction of light stabilized radion at high energy hadron colliders
In this paper we derive the coupling of light stabilized radions to gluons in the Randall-Sundrum model and use it to compute the radion production cross section at hadron colliders by gluon fusion. Using the effective Lagrangian for higgs coupling to gluons in the heavy quark limit we then show analytically that the radion production cross section through gluon fusion would exceed the higgs pr...
متن کاملA probe of the Radion-Higgs mixing in the Randall-Sundrum model at e+e− colliders
In the Randall-Sundrum model, the radion-Higgs mixing is weakly suppressed by the effective electroweak scale. A novel feature of the existence of gravity-scalar mixing would be a sizable three-point vertex, h (n) μν -h-φ. We study this vertex in the process e+e− → h μν → hφ, which is allowed only with a non-zero radion-Higgs mixing. It is shown that the angular distribution is a unique charact...
متن کاملExact identification of the radion and its coupling to the observable sector
Braneworld models in extra dimensions can be tested in laboratory by the coupling of the radion to the Standard Model fields. The identification of the radion as a canonically normalized field involves a careful General Relativity treatment: if a bulk scalar is responsible for the stabilization of the system, its fluctuations are entangled with the perturbations of the metric and they also have...
متن کاملRadion Phenomenology in the Randall Sundrum Scenario
Phenomenology of a radion (φ) in the Randall-Sundrum scenario is discussed. The radion couples to the trace of energy momentum tensor of the standard model with a strength suppressed only by a new scale (Λφ) which is an order of the electroweak scale. In particular, the effective coupling of a radion to two gluons is enhanced due to the trace anomaly of QCD. Therefore, its production cross sect...
