Description

We study a spin 1/2 fermion in a thick braneworld in the context of teleparallel f(T, B) gravity. Here, f(T, B) is such that f1(T,B)=T+k1Bn1 and f2(T,B)=B+k2Tn2, where n1,2 and k1,2 are parameters that control the influence of torsion and the boundary term. We assume Yukawa coupling, where one scalar field is coupled to a Dirac spinor field. We show how the n1,2 and k1,2 parameters control the width of the massless Kaluza-Klein mode, the breadth of non-normalized massive fermionic modes and the properties of the analogue quantum-potential near the origin.
