Neutrinos in flat extra dimension: towards a realistic scenario

Abstract

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 $S^1/Z_2$ 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.
