Abstract
This thesis studies the Higgs-boson production and decay processes as well as the flavor-changing neutral current b to s gamma in models with one warped extra dimension, where the gauge bosons and fermions propagate into the bulk and the Higgs sector is localized on or near the infra-red brane. These so-called Randall-Sundrum models present attractive scenarios beyond the Standard Model of particle physics that can address the disparity between the electroweak and the Planck scale. Furthermore, these models provide a natural explanation for the hierarchical pattern observed in the flavor sector and the smallness of flavor-changing neutral currents.
