Scalar Production in Association with a Z Boson at LHC and ILC: the Mixed Higgs-Radion Case of Warped Models

Understand

The radion scalar field might be the lightest new particle predicted by extra-dimensional extensions of the Standard Model.

• It could thus lead to the first signatures of new physics at the LHC collider.
• We perform a complete study of the radion production in association with the Z gauge boson in the custodially protected warped model with a brane-localised Higgs boson addressing the gauge hierarchy problem.
• Radion-Higgs mixing effects are present.
