Description

We discuss the implementation of bulk fermions in soft wall models. The introduction of a position dependent bulk mass allows for a well defined Kaluza-Klein expansion for bulk fermions. The realization of flavor and the contribution to electroweak precision observables are shown to be very similar to the hard wall case. The bounds from electroweak precision test are however milder with gauge boson Kaluza-Klein modes as light as ∼1.5 TeV compatible with current experimental bounds.
