Top Pair Production in Randall-Sundrum Models

Abstract

If the lowest lying Kaluza-Klein states in Randall-Sundrum (RS1) models have masses in the 10-100 TeV range, direct production of these states at the LHC or ILC is impossible, and electroweak precision measurements may not be sufficiently sensitive. We address the possibility that high-precision measurements of top pair production at the ILC may provide the first evidence of these states. We consider RS1 models with fermions on and off the brane, with bulk left and right handed mass terms, discuss brane kinetic terms and calculate corrections to top pair production in these models.
