Flavour Physics from Extra Dimensions

چکیده
We discuss the possibility of introducing an SU(2) global flavour symmetry in the context of flat extra dimensions. In particular we concentrate on the 5-dimensional case and we study how to obtain the flavour structure of the Standard Model quark sector compactifying the fifth dimension on the orbifold S1/Z2 à la Scherk-Schwarz (SS). We show that in this case it is possible to justify the five orders of magnitude among the values of the quark masses with only one parameter: the SS flavour parameter. The non-local nature of the SS symmetry breaking mechanism allows to realize this without introducing new instabilities in the theory.

About Mass, CP and Extra Dimensions
We discuss the notion of mass, mostly for fermions, and its relation to the breaking of CP invariance, the natural symmetry of gauge interactions. In a first model, we show how compactification on a Vortex in 2 extra dimensions leads to a replication of generations in 3+1, with challenging mass patterns, and testable consequences in flavour-changing neutral currents (familynumber conserving), b...
متن کاملThree flavour neutrino oscillations in models with large extra dimensions
The key challenges for models with large extra dimensions, posed by neutrino physics are: first to understand why neutrino masses are small and second, whether one can have a simultaneous explanation of all observed oscillation phenomena. There exist models that answer the first challenge by using singlet bulk neutrinos coupled to the standard model in the brane. Our goal in this paper is to se...
متن کاملPhysics Potential of Vertex Detector as Function of Beam Pipe Radius
The International Linear Collider (ILC), a 500 to 1000GeV linear e+e− collider to start operation in ∼2015, will allow unique studies of new physics at the TeV scale, such as Higgs physics, supersymmetry (SUSY) or physics involving extra spatial dimensions. Since this new physics is expected to be rich in heavy-flavour jets, a high-precision vertex detector, providing flavour tagging of unprece...
متن کاملNeutrino Magnetic Moment, Large Extra Dimensions and High Energy Cosmic Neutrino Spectra
We point out that the presence of bulk neutrinos in models with large extra spatial dimensions can lead to observable flavour specific deformations in the spectra of extreme high energy cosmic neutrinos. These deformations are due to the spin precession of the high energy neutrinos in the background magnetic fields via electromagnetic interactions. Measurements with existing and proposed neutri...
متن کاملSearches at Hera
Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model have been performed in high-energy e ± p collisions at HERA. No significant deviation from the Standard Model has been observed while searching for contact interactions, extra dimensions, lep-toquarks, R-parity violating squarks and excited fermions. Exclusion limits have been inferred which extend or complement bounds from other colliders. The H1 ...
