Bulk gauge and matter fields in nested warping: II. Symmetry breaking and phenomenological consequences

Generalizing the randall-sundrum scenario to higher dimensions with nested warpings has been shown to avoid the constraints besetting the former. in the first paper of this series [jhep 09 (2015) 202], the standard model gauge and fermion fields were extended into such a six-dimensional bulk and the construction was shown to have several interesting and welcome features. in this paper, we discuss the electroweak symmetry breaking, presenting a novel higgs localization mechanism that leads to interesting phenomenology in the higgs sector. localizing the higgs modifies the z μ and w μ boson wavefunctions, which leads to tree level changes in the oblique parameters. using these as well as the correction to low-energy four-fermi operators, we derive the constraints on our model and also discuss the gauge coupling evolution therein. amusingly, the model can naturally incorporate a higgs resonance in the 700–800 gev range.
