Abstract

In this work, we study a warped five-dimensional (5D) model with ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) branes, that solves the hierarchy problem with a fundamental 5D Planck scale [Formula: see text], and curvature parameter [Formula: see text], of the order of the 4D Planck mass [Formula: see text] TeV. The model exhibits a continuum of Kaluza–Klein (KK) modes with different mass gaps, at the TeV scale, for all fields. We have computed Green’s functions and spectral densities, and shown how the presence of a continuum KK spectrum can produce an enhancement in the cross-section of some Standard Model processes. The metric is linear near the IR, in conformal coordinates, as in the linear dilaton (LD) and 5D clockwork models, for which [Formula: see text] TeV. We also analyze a pure (continuum) LD scenario, solving the hierarchy problem with more conventional fundamental [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] scales of the order of [Formula: see text], and a continuum spectrum.
