The specificity of the interactions of electroweak gauge bosons coming from extra dimensions

Abstract

We discuss the specificity of the interactions of the electroweak gauge boson excitations in models with warped extra dimensions and the Standard Model fields living in the bulk. In particular, we show that the couplings of the gauge boson excitations [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] to the SM gauge bosons treated as the zero modes of the 5D gauge fields are either exactly equal to zero or very much suppressed. In the former case, the three-particle and four-particle interaction Lagrangians of the SM gauge bosons and their lowest excitations are found explicitly. Meanwhile, the couplings of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] to the SM fermions are nonzero allowing for their production and decays. These are the characteristic features of the gauge boson excitations in models with warped extra dimensions, which distinguish them from the gauge boson excitations in other models beyond the SM.
