摘要：

If light sterile neutrinos are needed to understand the neutrino puzzles. as is currently indicated, a major theoretical challenge is to understand why its mass is so small. It is a more serious problem than understanding the small mass of the familiar neutrinos, We discuss a new way to solve this problem by identifying the sterile neutrino as gauge neutral fermion propagating in the bulk of a higher-dimensional theory, with bulk size of order of a millimeter. The smallness of its mass is then a consequence of the size of the extra dimension and does not need the introduction of new symmetries. We present a realistic model for neutrino masses and mixings that implements this idea. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
