Abstract

The localization of scalar matter with nonminimal derivative coupling (NMDC) in the braneworld model is studied. Two types of brane models are considered: a thin brane (the Modified Randall-Sundrum) and a thick brane generated by the bulk scalar field. The 5-dimensional theory of scalar field with NMDC is reduced to the effective 4-dimensional theory by imposing the fulfillment of localization conditions. In this article, the localization properties of field with NMDC are examined in both models. We found that the massless and massive scalar field with NMDC can be localized on the MRS thin brane. In the thick brane, the massless scalar field is localized.
