Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of neutrino masses and mixing in Large Extra Dimension scenarios, focusing on the phenomenological impact of a five-dimensional (5D) bulk fermion. In a flat extra dimension compactified on an orbifold, this fermion manifests as a Kaluza-Klein tower of right-handed neutrinos in the 4D effective theory. We systematically investigate four distinct scenarios for mass generation, considering both Dirac and Majorana mass terms originating from either the bulk or the 3-brane. For each case, we analyse the consequences for neutrino oscillations in a vacuum and in matter, deriving the resulting mass spectra and mixing patterns. By comparing these theoretical predictions with experimental data, we explore the constraints on the large extra dimensions' parameters.
