Higgs dark matter from a warped extra dimension

We present a 5D Z2-symmetric IR-UV-IR model with a warped KK-parity under which the bulk fields have towers of either even or odd KK-modes. We show that this Z2-symmetric geometry is equivalent to two times the UV-IR geometry (Randall-Sundrum model) provided each bulk field is subject to Neumann (or mixed) and Dirichlet boundary conditions at the UV-brane for even and odd fields, respectively. The 5D Standard Model (SM) bosonic sector is considered, such that in the 4D low-energy effective theory the Z2-even zero-modes correspond to the SM degrees of freedom, whereas the Z2-odd zero modes serve as a dark sector. In the zero-mode scalar sector, the even scalar mimics the SM Higgs boson, while the odd scalar (dark-Higgs) is stable and serves as a dark matter candidate. Implications for this dark matter are discussed; it is found that the dark-Higgs can provide only a small fraction of the observed dark matter abundance.
