Douglas M. Gingrich
TL;DR
This paper discusses how large extra dimensions could explain tiny neutrino masses and how Higgs boson decays at the LHC might reveal signatures of such dimensions, providing a way to test these models.
Contribution
It reviews the current status of large extra-dimensional models and their implications for Higgs boson decays and neutrino masses in light of LHC data.
Findings
Constraints on large extra dimensions from Higgs mass limits
Potential signatures of singlet neutrinos in collider experiments
Implications for the fundamental Planck scale
Abstract
It is a challenge to explain why neutrinos are so light compared to other leptons. Small neutrino masses can be explained if right-handed fermions propagate in large extra dimensions. Fermions propagating in the bulk would have implications on Higgs boson decays. If the Higgs boson is discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a detailed analysis may reveal the presence of large extra dimensions. This paper reviews the status of large extra-dimensional models in the context of the current limits on Higgs boson masses and the fundamental Planck scale in extra dimensions.
