We study bulk fermion fields in the localized gravity model with
non-factorizable metric recently proposed by Randall and Sundrum, and
Gogberashvili. In addition to a tower of weak-scale Kaluza-Klein states we find
a zero mode for any value of the fundamental fermion mass. If the fermion mass
is larger than half the curvature of the compact dimension, the zero mode can
be localized on the ``hidden'' 3-brane in the Randall-Sundrum model.
Identifying this mode with a right-handed neutrino provides a new way for
obtaining small Dirac neutrino masses without invoking a see-saw mechanism.
Cancellation of the parity anomaly requires introducing an even number of bulk
fermions. This naturally leads to a strong hierarchy of neutrino masses and
generically large mixing angles.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure; minor changes, typos corrected, some references

We propose a method for determining ␥ using B Ϯ →DK Ϯ decays followed by a multibody D decay, such as D→K S Ϫ ϩ , D→K S K Ϫ K ϩ , and D→K S Ϫ ϩ 0 . The main advantages of the method are that it uses only Cabibbo allowed D decays, and that large strong phases are expected due to the presence of resonances. Since no knowledge about the resonance structure is needed, ␥ can be extracted without any hadronic uncertainty.
We make a systematic analysis of the effects of new physics in the B decay amplitudes on the CP asymmetries in neutral B decays. Although these are expected to be smaller than new physics effects on the mixing amplitude, they are easier to probe in some cases. The effects of new contributions to the mixing amplitude are felt universally across all decay modes, whereas the effects of new decay amplitudes could vary from mode to mode. In particular the prediction that the CP asymmetries in the B d decay modes with b → ccs, b → ccd, b → cūd and b → sss should all measure the same quantity (sin 2β in the Standard Model) could be violated. Since the above Standard Model prediction is very precise, new decay amplitudes which are a few percent of the Standard Model amplitudes can be probed. Three examples of models where measurable effects are allowed are given: effective supersymmetry, models with enhanced chromomagnetic dipole operators, and supersymmetry without R parity.
In any model with nonzero Majorana neutrino masses, the sneutrino and antisneutrino of the supersymmetric extended theory mix. We outline the conditions under which sneutrino-antisneutrino mixing is experimentally observable. The mass-splitting of the sneutrino mass eigenstates and sneutrino oscillation phenomena are considered.
We study the most general Multi-Higgs-Doublet Model (MHDM) with Natural
Flavor Conservation (NFC). The couplings of a charged scalar $H_i^{\pm}$ to up
quarks, down quarks and charged leptons depend on three new complex parameters,
$X_i$, $Y_i$ and $Z_i$, respectively. We prove relations among these
parameters. We carry out a comprehensive analysis of phenomenological
constraints on the couplings of the lightest charged scalar: $X$, $Y$ and $Z$.
We find that the general MHDM may differ significantly from its minimal
version, the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM).Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures available upon request, LaTeX, WIS-94/3/Jan-P
