Fermion Resonances on a Thick Brane with a Piecewise Warp Factor

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we mainly investigate the problems of resonances of massive KK fermions on a single scalar constructed thick brane with a piecewise warp factor matching smoothly. The distance between two boundaries and the other parameters are determined by one free parameter through three junction conditions. For the generalized Yukawa coupling ηΨˉϕkΨη\barΨϕ^{k}Ψ with odd k=1,3,5,...k=1,3,5,..., the mass eigenvalue mm, width ΓΓ, lifetime ττ, and maximal probability PmaxP_{max} of fermion resonances are obtained. Our numerical calculations show that the brane without internal structure also favors the appearance of resonant states for both left- and right-handed fermions. The scalar-fermion coupling and the thickness of the brane influence the resonant behaviors of the massive KK fermions.
