126 GeV Higgs and ATLAS bound on the lightest graviton mass in Randall-Sundrum model

Abstract

In the search for extra dimension through dilepton events in 7-TeV proton-proton collision, the ATLAS detector at LHC has set stringent lower bound on the mass of the Randall-Sundrum (RS) lightest graviton Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode. Considering that the Randall-Sundrum model undertakes to resolve the well-known gauge hierarchy/fine tuning problem to restrict the Higgs mass within the estimated $\sim 126$ GeV against large radiative correction upto the cut-off of the model, we explore the allowed parameter space within which the RS model can be trusted. We show that the consistency of the model with ATLAS results constrains the cut-off of the theory which is atleast two order lower than the Planck/Quantum gravity scale implying the possible existence of a new Physics at this lower scale.
