Abstract

We derive the effective potential for the Standard Model Higgs-boson sector interacting with Kaluza-Klein excitations of the graviton ( $h_{μ}^{ν n}$ ) and the radion ( $ϕ$ ) and show that {\it only} the Standard Model vacuum solution of $\partial V (h) / \partial h = 0$ (h is the Higgs field) is allowed. We then consider the consequences of the curvature-scalar mixing xi R \Hhat^\dagger \Hhat $(w h er e$ \Hhat $i s a H i g g s d o u b l e t f i e l d o n t h e v i s ib l e b r an e), w hi c h c a u ses t h e p h y s i c a l ma sse i g e n s t a t es han d$ ϕ $t o b e mi x t u r eso f t h eor i g ina l H i g g s an d r a d i o n f i e l d s .
