Phenomenology of the clockwork / linear dilaton solution to the hierarchy problem
The linear dilaton geometry in five dimensions, rediscovered recently as a continuum limit of the clockwork mechanism, offers a solution to the electroweak-Planck hierarchy problem that is qualitatively different from scenarios with warped (Randall-Sundrum) or large flat extra dimensions. In this talk, I will discuss various phenomenological aspects of this scenario. I will emphasize several previously overlooked collider signatures and outline certain types of LHC searches that they motivate.
