Description

Localisation of fermions in the bulk of an extra dimension are considered to be alternate to the Froggatt-Nielsen Models. We will consider a Randall -Sundrum Framework close to the GUT scale, the typical scale of Froggatt-Neilsen Models. We fit all the fermion masses at the high scale taking in to consideration the variation of $\mathcal{O}(1)$ entries. We do this exercise for both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric cases. Two cases for neutrino masses are considered : (1) an higher dimensional operator and secondly (2) Dirac neutrinos. Contrary to expectations, we find the higher dimensional operator fits to the data very well compared to the weak scale RS. In supersymmetry case, "flavourful supersymmetry" is a natural outcome in the minimal models. We present a few results in this direction.
