Abstract
A new economical model for neutrino masses is proposed in the context of th e brane-bulk scenarios for particle physics, where the global B-L symmetry of the standard model is broken spontaneously by a gauge singlet Higgs fiel d in the bulk. This leads to a bulk singlet majoron whose Kaluza-Klein exci tations may make it visible in neutrinoless double beta decay for some para meter range if the string scale is close to a TeV.
