2. 02-06-2003Simone Gennai SNS, INFN-Pisa2 What is the Radion? branes bulk Gravitons can be exchanged from brane to bulk In the R.S. Model the graviton is the only particle that can “live” in the bulk, all other SM particles are confined in the brane. Describing the 5D graviton field in 3+1D leads to a representation of the type: h  +  (the radion) Coupling to the higgs comes from the metric scalar term in the lagrangian.
