Flavor in Randall-Sundrum models
Dr. Adam Falkowski (CERN)


I will talk about 5D warped theories and their potential to explain the hierarchies of fermion masses and mixing in the Standard Model. I will review the severe constraints on the mass scale of new physics from flavor-changing neutral current processes, and discuss how new flavor symmetries may ameliorate the situation.
