Abstract:
A thick brane in six dimensions is constructed using two scalar fields. The field equations for 6D gravity
plus the scalar fields are solved numerically. This thick brane solution shares some features with
previously studied analytic solutions, but has the advantage that the energy-momentum tensor which
forms the thick brane comes from the scalar fields rather than being put in by hand. Additionally the scalar
fields which form the brane also provide a universal, nongravitational trapping mechanism for test fields of
various spins.
