Fermion localization on asymmetric two-field thick branes

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the localization of fermions on asymmetric thick branes generated by two scalars ϕϕ and χχ. In order to trap fermions on the asymmetric branes with kink-like warp factors, the couplings with the background scalars ηΨˉF(χ,ϕ)Ψη\barΨF(χ,ϕ)Ψ are introduced, where F(χ,ϕ)F(χ,ϕ) is a function of ϕϕ and χχ. We find that the coupling ηΨˉχϕΨη\barΨχϕΨ do not support the localization of 4-dimensional fermions on the branes. While, for the case ηΨˉχΨ+η′ΨˉϕΨη\barΨχΨ+η'\barΨϕΨ, which is the kink-fermion coupling corresponding to one-scalar-generated brane scenarios, the zero mode of left-handed fermions could be trapped on the branes under some conditions.
