      Clockworking flavor 1h

      In this talk I will discuss a set of clockwork models of flavor that can naturally explain the large hierarchies between the Standard Model quark masses and mixing angles. Since the clockwork only contains chains of new vector-like fermions without any other dynamical fields, the flavor constraints allow for relatively light new physics scale. For two benchmarks with gear masses just above 1 TeV, allowed by flavor constraints, I will discuss the collider searches and the possible ways of reconstructing gear spectra at the LHC. I will also mention the similarities and differences with other common solutions to the SM flavor puzzle, like Froggatt-Nielsen models, where a new clockworked version is identified, or models with warped extra dimensions
