5D UED: Flat and Flavorless

Understand

5D UED is not automatically minimally flavor violating.

• This is due to flavor asymmetric counter-terms required on the branes.
• Additionally, there are likely to be higher dimensional operators which directly contribute to flavor observables.
• We document a mostly unsuccessful attempt at utilizing localization in a flat extra dimension to resolve these flavor constraints while maintaining KK-parity as a good quantum number.
