Flavour violation with a single generation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

We calculate probabilities of flavour violating processes mediated by Kalutza-Klein modes of gauge bosons in a model where three generations of the Standard Model fermions arise from a single generation in (5+1) dimensions. We discuss a distinctive feature of the model: while the processes in which the generation number GG changes are strongly suppressed, the model is constrained by those with ΔG=0\Delta G=0, for instance Kμ±eK\to \mu ^\pm e^\mp. The bound on the size of the extra dimensions is 1/R641/R \gtrsim 64 TeV.
