Higher dimensional operators in 2HDM

We present a complete (non-redundant) basis of CP- and flavour-conserving six-dimensional operators in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM). We include Z_2-violating operators as well. In such a 2HDM effective field theory (2HDMEFT), we estimate how constraining the 2HDM parameter space from experiments can get disturbed due to these operators. Our basis is motivated by the strongly interacting light Higgs (SILH) basis used in the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT). We find out bounds on combinations of Wilson coefficients of such operators from precision observables, signal strengths of Higgs decaying into vector bosons etc. In 2HDMEFT, the 2HDM parameter space can play a significant role while deriving such constraints, by leading to reduced or even enhanced effects compared to SMEFT in certain processes. We also comment on the implications of the SILH suppressions in such considerations.Comment: 34 pages, 6 figures; to appear in JHE

Some low energy effects of a light stabilized radion in the Randall-Sundrum model

In this paper we study some low energy effects of a light stabilized radion in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. We find that the NLC 500 with its projected precision level will be able to probe the radion contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment and electric quadrupole moment of W boson for values of radion vev up to 500 Gev. On the other hand the BNL experiment E821 will be able to test the radion contribution to $a_{\mu}$ for 1 Tev radion vev and $m_{\phi}\le m_{\mu}$. We have also shown that the higgs-radion mixing induces a 2.6% correction in the WWh coupling. Finally by comparing the radionstrahlung with the higgsstrahlung process we have found that the LEPI bound on the higgs mass based on $Z\to hl\bar{l}$ decay mode suggests a lower bound of about 35 Gev on the radion mass.Comment: Plain Tex, 9 pages, No figures.
