Electroweak precision tests allow for lighter Kaluza–Klein (KK) Higgs modes in the deformed Randall–Sundrum (RS) model than in models with custodial symmetry. The first KK mode of the Higgs (h1) in such a model could have a mass as low as 900 GeV. In this paper, we study the production of h1 and its subsequent decay to a tt¯ pair at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in the context of the deformed RS model. We have performed a hadron-level Monte Carlo simulation of the signal and the relevant Standard Model background. We present strategies to effectively suppress the huge SM background and provide a signal that is tractable at the future runs of the LHC.
