Neutrinos in flat extra dimension: towards a realistic scenario
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the simple extension of the Standard Model in which an additional right handed neutrino propagates along a flat extra dimension, while the Standard Model fields are confined on a 3-brane. The fifth dimension is S/Z2 orbifold compactified. In this scenario, the neutrino mass can be naturally suppressed. By studying systematically the fundamental parameter space, we show that the strong phenomenological constraints on mixing angles between active and sterile neutrinos (especially those derived from the SNO experiment data) do not conflict with the possibility of generating a realistic neutrino mass spectrum. As a second step, we explore the possibility of a successful leptogenesis through the decays of the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the right handed neutrino.

Spontaneous CP violation model with flavor symmetry in large extra dimensions
We construct the minimal SUSY model that causes spontaneous CP violation with an abelian flavor symmetry in the context of the large extra dimensions and show that various physical scales can be easily unified. We also realize the realistic size of the CP violation and the small masses of the neutrinos. The strong CP problem can be solved by the axion scenario and the axion can be made invisibl...
متن کاملTorsion Constraints in the Randall–Sundrum Scenario
Torsion appears due to fermions coupled to gravity and leads to the strongest particle physics bounds on flat extra dimensions. In this work, we consider torsion constraints in the case of a warped extra dimension with brane and bulk fermions. From current data we obtain a 3σ bound on the TeV–brane mass scale Λπ ≥ 2.2 (10) TeV for the AdS curvature k = 1 (0.01) in (reduced) Planck units. If Dir...
متن کاملHolographic Methods and Gauge-Higgs Unification in Flat Extra Dimensions
I review the holographic techniques used to efficiently study models with Gauge-Higgs Unification (GHU) in one extra dimension. The general features of GHU models in flat extra dimensions are then reviewed, emphasizing the aspects related to electroweak symmetry breaking. Two potentially realistic models, based on SU(3) and SO(5) electroweak gauge groups, respectively, are constructed.
متن کاملGravity effects in inclined air showers induced by cosmic neutrinos
The Randall-Sundrum model with a small curvature is considered in which five-dimensional Planck scale lies in the TeV region, and a spectrum of Kaluza-Klein gravitons reminds that in one flat extra dimension. The cross sections for interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos with nucleons are calculated. It is shown that effects related with massive graviton excitations can be detected i...
متن کاملRelic abundance of dark matter in universal extra dimension models with right-handed neutrinos
Relic abundance of dark matter is investigated in the framework of universal extra dimension models with right-handed neutrinos. These models are free from the serious Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton problem that the original universal extra dimension model has. The first KK particle of the right-handed neutrino is a candidate for dark matter in this framework, and its relic abundance is determined ...
