Van Elewyck ?? Service de Physique The?orique, CP225, Universite? Libre de Bruxelles, Bvd du Triomphe, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium We study flavor neutrinos confined to our four-dimensional world coupled to one ”bulk” state, i.e., a Kaluza-Klein tower. We discuss the spatial development of the neutrino disappearance, the possibility of resurgence and the effective flavor transitions induced in this mechanism. We show that even a simple model can produce an energy independent suppression at large distances, and relate this to experimental data. PACS numbers: 14.60Pq, 14.60.St, 11.10.Kk I. INTRODUCTION The possibility of ”large extra dimensions”, i.e., with (at least) one compactification radius close to the current validity limit of Newton’s law of gravitation (～ 1 mm), raises considerable interest. It could also solve the hierarchy problem by providing us with a new fundamental scale at an energy possibly as small as 1 TeV [1,2]. Neutrino physics is a favorite area to study this possibility. A right-handed, sterile neutrino does not experience any of the gauge interactions that require the confinement of the other standard model particles to our four-dimensional brane; it is thus, other than the graviton, an ideal tool to probe the ”bulk” of space. Unconventional patterns of neutrino masses and oscillations arise, taking advantage of the possibility that the flavor neutrinos confined to our space can now interact with the bulk states that appear to us (due to compactification of the extra dimensions) as so-called Kaluza-Klein towers of states [3,4]. Recent works [5–9] have shown that, at least partially, it is possible to accommodate experimental constraints on neutrinos within this setup. We explore further possibilities, focusing on the unique properties of the model
