Phenomenology of a stabilized modulus

We explore the phenomenology of a stabilized modulus field in the Randall-S undrum scenario. It is found that if the large separation between branes ar ises from a small bulk scalar mass then the modulus (i.e. radion) is likely to be lighter than the lowest Kaluza-Klein excitations of bulk fields, and consequently may be the first direct signature of the model. Four-dimensio nal general covariance completely determines the couplings of the modulus t o Standard Model fields. The strength of these couplings is determined by a single parameter which is set by the TeV rather than the Planck scale. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
