On Neutrino Masses and Mixings from Extra Dimensions

Abstract

In the framework of a Kaluza-Klein type theory with the Standard Model fields localized on a 4-dimensional section while gravity propagates in a full 4+δ4+\delta-dimensional space-time, we examine a mechanism of naturally small neutrino mass generation through couplings of Standard Model singlet fermion(s) living also in the full space-time. A numerical studies is carried out on the charged current universality constraint from the ratio of pion decay partial widths. The bounds obtained on the fundamental mass scale could be stringent.
