Description
We consider Randall-Sundrum (RS) to be a theory of flavour, as an alternative to Froggatt-Nielsen Models. A modified RS framework between the Planck scale and the GUT scale is considered. Fermion masses and mixings are fitted at the GUT scale. Two cases of neutrino masses are considered (a) Planck scale lepton number violation and (b) Dirac neutrino masses. In the supersymmetric version, the fits are not significantly different except for the variation in tan-β. If the Higgs superfield and the SUSY breaking spurion are localized on the same brane. The structure of the sfermion masses is determined by the gravitino mass and profiles of the zero mode of the hypermultiplets. `A' terms have the same structure as the Yukawa matrices. The resultant squark spectrum is around 2-3 TeV required by the light Higgs mass to be around 125 GeV and to satisfy the flavour violating constraints.
