Figure 3.12: The red po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong>dicate <strong>the</strong> predicted values of a large set of parameter<br />
po<strong>in</strong>ts for <strong>the</strong> custodially protected RS model with extended color gauge group <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
bulk and relocalized fermions for tan β = 1/2 and θ = 45 ◦ , <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> B � Bs → µ + µ −� -<br />
B � Bd → µ + µ −� plane (left panel) and <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sψφ −∆Γ/Γ plane (right panel). The SM<br />
predictions are <strong>in</strong>dicated by black bars, and <strong>the</strong> and <strong>the</strong> yellow (gray) contours <strong>the</strong><br />
experimentally preferred regions of 68% (95%) probability <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> right panel. In <strong>the</strong><br />
left panel, <strong>the</strong> black dashed l<strong>in</strong>es denote <strong>the</strong> experimental upper limits as measured by<br />
LHCb at 95% CL, and <strong>the</strong> blue band shows <strong>the</strong> preferred region at 95% CL measured<br />
by CDF.<br />
f<strong>in</strong>d that to lead<strong>in</strong>g order <strong>in</strong> v2 /M 2 KK <strong>the</strong> effect of <strong>the</strong> relocalization amounts to an<br />
enhancement of CA ′ → p2 dCA ′, while CA rema<strong>in</strong>s unchanged.<br />
Scatterplots for <strong>the</strong> extended model with relocalized fermions for <strong>the</strong> reference values<br />
of tan β = 1/2 and θ = 45 ◦ , for <strong>the</strong> observables described <strong>in</strong> Section 2.6 and 2.6 are<br />
shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.12. <strong>On</strong>e can see that slightly larger effects are possible, however<br />
<strong>the</strong> RS-GIM mechanism does still sufficiently suppress FCNCs <strong>in</strong> order to not alter<br />
<strong>the</strong> conclusions <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> mentioned sections.<br />
Bounds from Direct Detection<br />
Besides agreement with <strong>the</strong> bounds from flavor observables, <strong>the</strong> masses of <strong>the</strong> new<br />
resonances must be below <strong>the</strong> constantly improv<strong>in</strong>g mass limits of <strong>the</strong> LHC experiments.<br />
This primarily concerns <strong>the</strong> KK excitations of <strong>the</strong> axigluon and <strong>the</strong> color octet<br />
scalars.<br />
Interest<strong>in</strong>gly, both axigluons as well as color octet, electroweak doublet scalars are<br />
among <strong>the</strong> most weakly constra<strong>in</strong>ed new physics resonances. This can be understood<br />
by consider<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong> best exclusion limits from <strong>the</strong> LHC come from dijet analyses,<br />
which <strong>in</strong> return are strongest if <strong>the</strong> new resonance can be produced at tree level<br />
