Electroweak Constraints on Warped Geometry in Five Dimensions and Beyond

Understand

Here we consider the tree level corrections to electroweak (EW) observables from standard model (SM) particles propagating in generic warped extra dimensions.

• The scale of these corrections is found to be dominated by three parameters, the Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass scale, the relative coupling of the KK gauge fields to the Higgs and the relative coupling of the KK gauge fields to fermion zero modes.
• It is found that 5D spaces that resolve the hierarchy problem through warping typically have large gauge-Higgs coupling.
• It is also found in $D>5$ where the additional dimensions are warped the relative gauge-Higgs coupling scales as a function of the warp factor.
