Radion stabilization in 5D SUGRA Original Research Article

We present a detailed study of radion stabilization within 5D conformal SUGRA compactified on an image orbifold. We use an effective 4D superfield description developed in our previous work. The effects of tree level bulk and boundary couplings, and in particular of one-loop contributions and of a non-perturbative correction on the radion stabilization are investigated. We find new examples of radion stabilization in non SUSY and (meta-stable) SUSY preserving Minkowski vacua.
