SUMMARY:"5D UED: Flat and Flavorless"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Johannes Heinonen\, University of Chicago\n\nPart of 
	the HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\n\nUnlike supersymmetric models (SUSY)
	\, models with a flat extra dimension (UED) do not address the hierarchy pr
	oblem. In fact the only problem of the standard model that they can solve i
	s the existence of dark matter\, provided there exist a reflection parity (
	KK-parity). However\, UED is still interesting as a "straw man" to pit agai
	nst SUSY from the perspective of model discrimination at the LHC.\n\nI will
	 present an investigation of the flavor structure of UED with KK-parity. I 
	will show how ultra-light states make the construction of a realistic UED m
	odel with flavor difficult and that the experimental bounds in general requ
	ire a high cut off of order few 1000 TeV. Adding new brane localized operat
	ors can reduce these bounds. However\, the new resulting theory will not be
	 a flat anymore\, in the sense that it mimics a double throat warped extra 
	dimension.
