Higgs Production via gg→ h in Warped Extra Dimensions: Part II — •Christoph Schmell, Raoul Malm, Kristiane Novotny, and Matthias Neubert — Institut für Physik, JGU Mainz

Since the discovery of the Higgs-like boson at the LHC the demand for a solution to the gauge hierarchy problem (HP) is more pressing than ever. One promising New Physics model that gives an explanation for the HP is the so-called Randall-Sundrum (RS) model. Based on a (warped) extra dimension this model contains among other things an infinite number of Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations for all SM fermions and gauge bosons. In loop processes this KK tower could give rise to significant effects on many observables.

In my talk I will discuss the Higgs production via gluon-gluon fusion in the RS model which is a loop-induced process just as in the Standard Model. I will focus on the phenomenological consequences of our analytical results where my analysis will not only include the minimal but also an extended version of the RS model.
