In this paper we use the conformal properties of the spinor field to show how
we can obtain the fermion quasi-normal modes for a higher dimensional
Schwarzschild black hole. These modes are of interest in so called split
fermion models, where quarks and leptons are required to exist on different
branes in order to keep the proton stable. As has been previously shown, for
brane localized fields, the larger the number of dimensions the faster the
black hole damping rate. Moreover, we also present the analytic forms of the
quasi-normal frequencies in both the large angular momentum and the large mode
number limits.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, version 2 added reference
