A systematic literature survey of the RS flavor sector, with independent verification at every stage.
Completeness is controlled by a convergence criterion across four independent sweeps; accuracy by a separate reviewer who re-fetches every cited source. The seed list, the 43 excluded candidates, and a sha256 for every snapshot are tracked in git, so any number on the site traces back to the publisher page. The result is a catalog of 102 flavor-physics constraints on warped extra-dimensional parameter space.
Coverage
The seed list of 128 candidates draws on PDG, HFLAV, and FLAG, anchored on the canonical warped-flavor papers: Agashe-Contino-Pomarol, Csaki-Falkowski-Weiler, and Perez-Randall. Four independent sweeps then worked different slices of the collider and flavor literature, each looking for entries the previous rounds had missed.
Sweeping continued until two consecutive rounds each surfaced one or fewer new entries. An independent external cross-check then compared the mid-build catalog against the broader literature and identified five additional entries; all five were included. Every excluded candidate carries a named reason and promotion trigger: 43 deferred entries, no silent drops.
Per-entry verification
Each entry passes through a two-reader pipeline.
One pass writes the entry from the primary source. An independent
reviewer then checks it against an eight-item structural checklist
and re-fetches every cited URL, confirming the
quoted number appears on the live publisher page and matches the
local snapshot. Every snapshot carries a sha256 in git, so
git checkout flavor-catalog-v0.4 rebuilds the catalog
from scratch.
What the pipeline caught
A one-digit numerical slip
The Higgs LFV entry (T020) was first recorded as $\mathcal{B}(h\to e\mu) < 6.1\times 10^{-5}$. The re-fetch pass against the ATLAS source returned $<6.2\times 10^{-5}$. This is the only numerical mismatch across all 102 entries, and it was caught only because writer and reviewer were independent.
A measurement missing from the data block
The rare-kaon entry (K020) for $K^+\to\pi^+ e^\pm\mu^\mp$ quoted the BNL E865 limit $<2.1\times 10^{-11}$ at 90% CL in prose but omitted it from the structured data block. Without the split, the number would have been citable but invisible to downstream scans.
Fact-check results
The final fact-check returned 101 VERIFIED, 1 PARTIAL, and 0 MISMATCH across all 102 entries. The two PARTIAL cases are metadata-only gaps on a JavaScript-rendered INSPIRE page that the tool could not parse. The underlying numerical values were confirmed by hand.
