Verifiable model of neutrino masses from large extra dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new scenario of neutrino masses with a Higgs triplet (xi(++),xi(+),xi(0)) in a theory of large extra dimensions. Lepton number violation in a distant brane acts as the source of a very small trilinear coupling of xi to the standard Higgs doublet in our brane. Small realistic Majorana neutrino masses are naturally obtained with the fundamental scale M(*) approximately O(1) TeV, foretelling the possible discovery of xi (m(xi) less, similarM(*)) at future colliders. Decays of xi(++) into same-sign dileptons are fixed by the neutrino mass matrix. Observation of &mgr;-e conversion in nuclei is predicted.

Neutrino Masses and Oscillations in Models with Large Extra Dimensions
We discuss the profile of neutrino masses and mixings in models with large extra dimensions when right handed neutrinos are present in the branes along with the usual standard model particles. In these models, string scale must be bigger than 108 GeV to have desired properties for the neutrinos at low energies. The lightest neutrino mass is zero and there is oscillations to sterile neutrinos th...
متن کاملA Model for Neutrino and Charged Lepton Masses in Extra Dimensions
We propose a model with one large submm size extra dimension in which the gravity and right-handed (RH) neutrino propagate, but the three Standard Model (SM) families are confined to fat branes of TeV −1 size or smaller. The charged leptons and the light neutrinos receive mass from the five dimensional Yukawa couplings with the SM singlet neutrino via electroweak Higgs, while the KK excitations...
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 کاملNeutrino Masses from Large Extra Dimensions ∗
Recently it was proposed that the standard model (SM) degrees of freedom reside on a (3 + 1)-dimensional wall or “3-brane” embedded in a higher-dimensional spacetime. Furthermore, in this picture it is possible for the fundamental Planck mass M∗ to be as small as the weak scale M∗ ≃ O( TeV) and the observed weakness of gravity at long distances is due the existence of new sub-millimeter spatial...
متن کاملCharged Higgs decays in models with singlet neutrino in large extra dimensions
In models with large extra dimensions and TeV scale quantum gravity, small (Dirac) neutrino masses can be obtained naturally if the right-handed neutrino propagates in the extra dimensions. In this scenario, with 2 Higgs doublets, we show that the decay of charged Higgs into left-handed charged lepton (say τ) and right-handed neutrino can be significantly enhanced, with O(1) branching ratio, du...
