Higgs production in a warped extra dimension

Measurements of the Higgs-boson production cross section at the LHC are an important tool for studying electroweak symmetry breaking at the quantum level, since the main production mechanism gg → h is loop-suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). Higgs production in extra-dimensional extensions of the SM is sensitive to the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the quarks, which can be exchanged as virtual particles in the loop. In the context of the minimal Randall-Sundrum (RS) model with bulk fields and a brane-localized Higgs sector, we derive closed analytical expressions for the gluon-gluon fusion process, finding that the effect of the infinite tower of virtual KK states can be described in …

Chromomagnetic dipole-operator corrections inB¯→XsγatO(β0αs2)

We calculate the fermionic corrections to the photon-energy spectrum of $\overline{B}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{X}_{s}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ which arise from the self-interference of the chromomagnetic dipole operator ${Q}_{8}$ at next-to-next-to-leading order by applying naive non-Abelianization. The resulting $\mathcal{O}({\ensuremath{\beta}}_{0}{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s}^{2})$ correction to the $\overline{B}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{X}_{s}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ branching ratio amounts to a relative shift of $+0.12%$ ($+0.27%$) for a photon-energy cut of 1.6 GeV (1.0 GeV). We also comment on the potential size of resummation and nonperturbative effects related to ${Q}_{8}$.

Bounds on Warped Extra Dimensions from a Standard Model-like Higgs Boson

We point out that the discovery of a light Higgs boson in the \gamma\gamma, ZZ and WW decay channels at the LHC, with cross sections not far from the predictions of the Standard Model, would have important implications for the parameters of warped extra-dimension models. Due to loop effects of Kaluza-Klein particles, these models predict a significant reduction of the Higgs production cross section via gluon-gluon fusion, combined with an enhancement of the ratio Br(h->\gamma\gamma)/Br(h->ZZ). LHC measurements of these decays will probe Kaluza-Klein masses up to the 10 TeV range, exceeding by far the reach for direct production.
