MUON ANOMALY AND A LOWER BOUND ON HIGGS MASS DUE TO A LIGHT STABILIZED RADION IN THE RANDALL–SUNDRUM MODEL

Abstract

We investigate the Randall–Sundrum model with a light stabilized radion (required to fix the size of the extra dimension) in the light of muon anomalous magnetic moment [Formula: see text]. Using the recent data (obtained from the E821 experiment of the BNL Collaboration) which differs by 2.6σ from the Standard Model result, we obtain constraints on radion mass mϕ and radion vacuum expectation value 〈ϕ〉. In the presence of a radion the beta functions β(λ) and β(gt) of Higgs quartic coupling (λ) and top-Yukawa coupling (gt) gets modified. We find these modified beta functions. Using these beta functions together with the anomaly constrained mϕ and 〈ϕ〉, we obtain lower bound on Higgs mass mh. We compare our result with the present LEP2 bound on mh.
