Abstract
The localization of scalar matter with nonminimal derivative coupling in the braneworld model is studied. Two types of brane models are considered: a thin brane (the Modified Randall-Sundrum) and a thick brane model generated by the bulk scalar field. From the 5D action and 5D field equation, they can be reduced to the 4D case by imposing the fulfillment of localization conditions. In this article, the field localization properties with nonminimal derivative coupling is examined by showing the square integrability in the localization condition equations. Then, the results of both MRS and scalar thick branes are compared.
