Probing the Radion-Higgs mixing at hadronic colliders

In the Randall-Sundrum model, the radion-Higgs mixing is weakly suppressed by the effective electroweak scale. One of its novel features would be a sizable three-point vertex of KK graviton-Higgs-radion. We explored the potential of the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN LHC in probing the radion-Higgs mixing via the associated production of the radion with the Higgs boson. The observation of the rare decay of the KK gravitons into a Higgs and a radion is then the direct and exclusive signal of the radion-Higgs mixing. We also studied all the partial decay widths of the KK gravitons in the presence of the radion-Higgs mixing, and found that if the mixing parameter is of order one, the decay rate into a radion and a Higgs boson becomes as large as that into a Higgs boson pair, with the branching ratio of order 0.001.
