Models in the warped Randall-Sundrum space without scalar fields and with fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk provide a useful setting to explore the properties of composite models of the Higgs field. Jongmin Yoon and I have been studying the systematics of e+e- -> f fbar in this framework. The cross sections trace properties of the underlying model construction, in a way that is orthogonal to direct particle searches. Observing fermion pair production with high precision may be the best way to test these models.
