Physics of the radion in the Randall-Sundrum scenario
Abstract
Description
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.
