Bulk Fermions in Soft Wall Models
Dr. Mert Aybat (ETH Zürich)


Models with warped extra dimensions and a soft infrared wall provide an exciting realization of electroweak symmetry breaking, with phenomenological implications that go beyond the standard Randall-Sundrum model with a hard wall. We incorporate bulk fermions in soft wall models and study electroweak and flavor constraints in fully realistic models, including a heavy top quark. We also discuss LHC phenomenology for these models.
