While over the past two decades a largely consistent picture of neutrino oscillations has emerged, a few unexplained anomalies put a serious dent in this framework. After introducing the LSND, MiniBooNE, and reactor anomalies, we will first discuss attempts to explain the latter two within the Standard Model. In the second part of the talk,... More »

The Randall-Sundrum model with two branes (RS1)  is a gravitational theory on five-dimensional spacetime. Because its fifth dimension is compactified, the theory manifests as a four-dimensional theory at low energies, where it describes interactions among a Kaluza-Klein spectrum that contains a 4D graviton, massless radion, and infinitely many massive spin-2 states. These massive spin-2 states pose... More »
