چکیده

The anomaly cancellation condition of the Standard Model may be unnatural in theories with extra dimensions as an anomaly of a low-energy 4-dimensional theory can be canceled by an inflow from a bulk. This inflow may give rise to an observable effect at low energies. We analyze several physical models in which this effect exists and estimate constraints on its value, imposed by the modern experimental data. We show that the effect can be large enough to be observed even when these constraints are satisfied. Positive result of such an experiment would be a low-energy signature of the existence of extra dimensions.

Frequency of Congenital Heart Disease in Neonates with Extra Cardiac Anomalies

Background Diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) in neonates with extra cardiac anomalies is effective in their clinical management and surgical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of CHD in neonates with extra cardiac anomalies admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Material...

Anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions

We give an overview of the issue of anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions. We start by reviewing in a pedagogical way the computation of the standard perturbative gauge and gravitational anomalies on non-compact spaces, using Fujikawa’s approach and functional integral methods, and discuss the available mechanisms for their cancellation. We then generalize these analyses to the case...

Neutrino anomalies and large extra dimensions

Theories with large extra dimensions can generate small neutrino masses when the standard model neutrinos are coupled to singlet fermions propagating in higher dimensions. The couplings can also generate mass splittings and mixings among the flavour neutrinos in the brane. We systematically study the minimal scenario involving only one singlet bulk fermion coupling weakly to the flavour neutrin...

New physics in the third generation quark sector: LHC predictions from LEP and Tevatron anomalies

Within the paradigm of warped extra dimensions, third generation quarks are expected to be the most sensitive to effects beyond the Standard Model. The anomalies observed at the LEP and Tevatron colliders in the forward-backward asymmetries of the bottom (AFB) and top (A t FB) quarks can thus be seen as early signatures of warped extra-dimensional scenarios. We propose a realization of such a s...

1 Ju n 19 92 A Method for Simulating Chiral Fermions on the Lattice

I show that a lattice theory of massive interacting fermions in 2n + 1 dimensions may be used to simulate the behaviour of massless chiral fermions in 2n dimensions if the fermion mass has a step function shape in the extra dimension. The massless states arise as zeromodes bound to the mass defect, and all doublers can be given large gauge invariant masses. The manner in which the anomalies are...
