PLACE: Kenkyu Honkan, 2F, Rm. 220
TITLE: Scherk-Schwarz flavor breaking and neutrino phenomenology
CONTACT: tsuda
SPEAKER: Atsushi Watanabe  (Kyushu University)
LANGUAGE: Japanese
ABSTRACT: A new framework for handling flavor symmetry breaking in the neutrino sector is discussed where the source of symmetry breaking is traced to the global property of right-handed neutrinos in extra-dimensional space. The method provides highly predictive, calculable effects of flavor breaking. Light neutrino phenomenology has rich and robust predictions such as the tri/bi-maximal form of generation mixing. A remarkable point is that there is no need of flavor mixing couplings in the theory.
