Neutrino Physics with Small Extra Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study neutrino physics in the context of the localized gravity model with nonfactorizable metric proposed by Randall and Sundrum. Identifying the right-handed neutrino with a bulk fermion zero mode, which can be localized on the “hidden” 3-brane in the Randall–Sundrum model, we obtain naturally small Dirac neutrino masses without invoking a see-saw mechanism. Our model predicts a strong hierarchy of neutrino masses and generically large mixing angles.

Three 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 کاملNaturally small seesaw neutrino mass with no new physics beyond the TeV scale.
If there is no new physics beyond the TeV energy scale, such as in a theory of large extra dimensions, the smallness of the seesaw neutrino mass, i.e., m(nu) = m(2)(D)/m(N), cannot be explained by a very large m(N). In contrast to previous attempts to find an alternative mechanism for a small m(nu), I show how a solution may be obtained in a simple extension of the standard model, without using...
متن کاملMajorana neutrinos with split fermions in extra dimensions
We propose new solutions to the neutrino mass problem in theories with large extra dimensions in a thick wall scenario. It has recently been argued that our 3-brane could be a thick wall at the boundary of the bulk. The gauge bosons and the Higgs scalars have an almost flat profile on this wall, while fermions could have localized profile with left-handed and right-handed components displaced w...
متن کاملProbing Large Extra Dimensions with Neutrinos
We study implications of theories with sub-millimeter extra dimensions and Mf ∼ (1− 10) TeV scale quantum gravity for neutrino physics. In these theories, the left-handed neutrinos as well as other standard model (SM) particles, are localized on a brane embedded in the bulk of large extra space. Mixing of neutrinos with (SM) singlet fermions propagating in the bulk is naturally suppressed by th...
متن کاملShortcuts in extra dimensions and neutrino physics
We discuss the possibility of sterile neutrinos taking shortcuts in extra dimensions, and the consequences for neutrino oscillations. This effect influences the active-sterile neutrino mixing and provides a possibility to accommodate the LSND evidence for neutrino oscillations together with bounds from accelerator and reactor experiments. We briefly comment on causality in such schemes.
