Abstract
Randall-Sundrum scenario with all the standard model (SM) fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk is phenomenologically studied. Even though the simple assumption of universal bulk fermion mass m_ψleads to the same Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass spectrum for all the SM fermions and thus suppresses new contributions to Flavor-Changing-Neutral-Current and the ρparameter, large Yukawa coupling of the top quark generates its KK mode mixing and breaks the degeneracy: unacceptably large contribution to Δρoccurs. With a different bulk fermion mass to SU(2) singlet bottom quark, we demonstrate that there exists some parameter space to satisfy the Δρconstraint.
