Lepton Flavor Violation in the Randall-Sundrum Model with Bulk Neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
Lepton flavor violation in the Randall-Sundrum model with bulk neutrinos is considered. Grossman and Neubert recently proposed that the existence of tiny neutrino masses and large mixing could be explained by the presence of the bulk neutrinos in the Randall-Sundrum background. Since the zero mode wave functions of the bulk neutrinos are localized on Planck brane, the Dirac Yukawa couplings on our brane are exponentially suppressed enough to generate tiny neutrino masses. However, the existence of KaluzaKlein modes of these bulk neutrinos enhance lepton flavor violating processes such as μ → eγ, from which lower bounds on their masses can be derived. We find that the first KK mode must be heavier than 25 TeV if all the neutrino Yukawa couplings are of order unity, which requires a fine-tuning for the Higgs mass parameter.

Massive Neutrinos in a Warped Extra Dimension
The Randall-Sundrum I (RS1) model of a warped extra dimension provides a natural candidate solution to the hierarchy problem between the Planck and weak scales. Coincidentally, the theoretical development of such ‘braneworld’ models in the late 1990s coincided with the experimental verification of nonzero neutrino masses. This presents another hierarchy problem: why are neutrino masses vanishin...
متن کاملSuppressing lepton flavor violation in a soft-wall extra dimension
A soft-wall warped extra dimension allows one to relax the tight constraints imposed by electroweak data in conventional Randall-Sundrum models. We investigate a setup, where the lepton flavor structure of the standard model is realized by split fermion locations. Bulk fermions with general locations are not analytically tractable in a soft-wall background, so we follow a numerical approach to ...
متن کاملFlavor anarchy in a Randall-Sundrum model with 5D minimal flavor violation and a low Kaluza-Klein scale.
A variant of a warped extra dimension model is presented. It is based on 5D minimal flavor violation, in which the only sources of flavor breaking are two 5D anarchic Yukawa matrices. These matrices also control the bulk masses, which are responsible for the resulting flavor hierarchy. The theory flows to a next to minimal flavor violation model where flavor violation is dominantly coming from ...
متن کاملCombined flavor symmetry violation and lepton number violation in neutrino physics
Heavy singlet neutrinos admit Majorana masses which are not possible for the Standard Model particles. This suggest new possibilities for generating the masses and mixing angles of light neutrinos. We present a model of neutrino physics which combines the source of lepton number violation with the flavor symmetry responsible for the hierarchy in the charged lepton and quark sector. This is acco...
متن کاملPreserving the Lepton Asymmetry in the Brane World
In models where the Standard Model spectrum is localized on a brane embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime, we discuss the lepton number violation induced by the emission of right-handed neutrinos from the brane. We show that quite generically the presence of the right-handed neutrinos in the bulk leads to rapid lepton number violating processes which above the electroweak scale would wash ...
