  1. Warped extra dimensions Stephan Huber, University of Sussex NExT Meeting, Queen Mary, November 2011

  2. Hierarchies from Warping [Randall, Sundrum 1999] • 4D und 5D cosmological constants curve the extra dimension • metric: Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space (AdS curvature k~M5~MP) IR-brane V<0 UV-brane V>0 Λ<0 warp factor all scales red shifted: localized gravity πR R~11k-1 : Meff(πR) ~ TeV hierarchy problem

  3. KK Gravitons • wave functions: sin, cos Bessel functions • KK states are localized (IR-brane): mass splitting ~ TeV couplings ~ 1/TeV (instead of 1/MP!) spin-2 resonances at colliders m1 > ~ TeV, depending on k/MPl no astrophysical constraints like in ADD --> -->

  4. Graviton wave functions IR-brane (1) (2) (3) -->

  5. [Davoudiasl, Hewett, Rizzo hep-ph/0006041] -->

  6. Problems • the SM is an effective theory with cut-off Λ • all mass scales get rescaled! Λ ~ TeV generic four-fermion operators suppressed only by 1/TeV Q L Q Q ? proton decay (QQQL: >1015 GeV) flavor violation (DSDS: >106 GeV) neutrino masses (HHLL: >1014 GeV) … symmetries??

  7. Way out: SM in the bulk • cut-off is y-dependent: • electroweak scale Higgs: IR-brane • gauge bosons, fermions: bulk Higgs gauge bosons fermions UV-brane IR-brane allows cut-off Λ >> TeV!

  8. Main properties of gauge bosons: IR-brane (1) (2) (2) (0) (3) almost universality: FV suppressed enhanced KK couplings: large EW corrections (1) -->

  9. Electroweak constraints • W and Z mix with their KK excitations→ SM mass relations modified at tree-level MW somewhat enhanced (contribution to the ρ parameter) MKK > 10 TeV (compared to an LHC reach of 5 TeV?) • bounds can be relaxed to a few TeV by introducing a) brane kinetic terms [Carena, Ponton, Tait, Wagner] b) left-right symmetric gauge group [Agashe, Delgado, May, Sundrum] c) bulk Higgs (soft wall?) [Cabrer, Gersdorff, Quiros] d) more than 5 dimensions [Archer, SH]

  10. More than 5 dimensions

  12. Fermion mass hierarchy [Gherghetta, Pomarol; S.H., Shafi] ●zero modes: shape depends on 5D Dirac mass c Higgs zero modes c>½ UV-brane c<½ IR-brane electron top tau ● Yukawas λ(5) to the Higgs ● 5D geography:overlap light (heavy) fermions UV (IR)-brane hierarchical fermion masses with λ(5) ~ 1 UV-Brane IR-brane -->

  13. Flavor violation • KK gauge bosons couple non-universally, so that g=diag(ge,gμ,gτ) • in the mass basis flavor non-diagonal couplings • but: couplings almost universal for c>1/2 where the light fermions are localized ‘‘warped GIM mechanism“ 1. KK gauge boson g (1)/g(0) c µ e Z(1) e e -->

  14. Main properties of gauge bosons: IR-brane (1) (2) (2) (0) (3) almost universality: FV suppressed enhanced KK couplings: large EW corrections (1) -->

  15. Flavor violation: examples • strongest constraints from CP violation in the Kaon system εK: mKK > ~30 TeV note:bounds are much weaker than for flat extradimensions, where mKK > 1000 TeV! [Delgado, Pomarol, Quiros 1999] • lepton flavor violation: BR(µ→eee) ~ 10-13 (exp. bound: < 1x10-12) BR(µ→eγ) ~ 10-16 (exp. bound: < 1.1x10-11) muon electron conversion BR(µN→eN) ~ 10-15 exp. bound: < 1x10-13 (but plans to reach ~10-17) → observable?? [Bauer, Casagrande, Haisch, Neubert 2009] [Huber 2003]

  16. [Batell, Gherghetta, Sword ‘08] Mass scales: AdS curvature k KK scale µ (mKK~2 TeV, Falkowski, Perez-Victoria ‘08)

  17. Constraints from CP violation the kaon sector: much relaxed! [Archer, SH, Jaeger 2011]

  18. Conclusions Models with warped geometry provide a rich phenomenology: new resonances (KK gravitons etc.) at colliders fermion mass geography main constraints: electroweak (RS: > ~10 TeV  few TeV) flavor (RS: > ~30 TeV  few TeV) results depend sensitively on variants of the model: more than 5D? soft wall? Warped models may be dual to strongly coupled 4D models Cosmology: no immediate dark matter candidate holographic phase transition

  19. KK Gravitons • wave functions: sin, cos Bessel functions • KK states are localized (IR-brane): mass splitting ~ TeV couplings ~ 1/TeV (instead of 1/MP!) spin-2 resonances at colliders m1 > 0.2-1.5 TeV, depending on k/MPl no astrophysical constraints like in ADD --> -->

  20. Graviton wave functions IR-brane (1) (2) (3) -->

  21. The Klebanov-Strassler solution 10-dimensional metric: “internal 5+1 dimensional metric:
