Simultaneous analysis of neutrinoless double beta decay and LHC pp-cross sections: limits on the left-right mixing angle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The extension of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, to accommodate massive neutrinos and/or right-handed currents, is one of the fundamental questions to answer in the cross-field of particle and nuclear physics. The consequences of such extensions would reflect upon nuclear decays, like the very exotic nuclear double-beta-decay, as well as upon high-energy proton-proton reactions of the type performed at the LHC accelerator. In this talk we shall address this question by looking at the results reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, where the excitation and decay of a heavy-mass boson may be mediated by a heavy-mass neutrino in proton-proton reactions leading to two jets and two leptons, and by extracting limits on the left-right mixing, from the latest measurements of nuclear-double-beta decays reported by the GERDA and EXO collaborations.

LHC and B physics probes of neutrinoless double beta decay in supersymmetry without R-parity
In the event of an observation of neutrinoless double beta decay, a relevant question would be: what lepton number violating physics is responsible for the decay? The exchange of Majorana neutrinos and/or supersymmetric particles may contribute. We point out that measurements of supersymmetric signals at the LHC, including single slepton production, could be used to help bound some supersymmetr...
متن کاملSignals of Heavy Majorana Neutrinos at Hadron Colliders
The lepton number violating signal of like-sign-dileptons (LSD), pp → ll+ 2jets, is investigated within a model of mixing in the neutrino sector assuming the existence of heavy Majorana neutrino states with a left–handed coupling to the light leptons. The LSD signal receives contributions both from the resonant production of a heavy Majorana neutrino (N) and from the exchange of a virtual N in ...
متن کاملSame-Sign Dilepton Production via Heavy Majorana Neutrinos in Proton-Proton Collisions
We discuss same-sign dilepton production mediated by Majorana neu-trinos in high-energy proton-proton collisions pp → ℓ + ℓ ′+ X for ℓ, ℓ ′ = e, µ, τ at the LHC energy √ s = 14 TeV. Assuming one heavy Majorana neutrino of mass m N , we present discovery limits in the (m N , |U ℓN U ℓ ′ N |) plane where U ℓN are the mixing parameters. Taking into account the present limits from low energy experi...
متن کاملMajorana neutrino masses from neutrinoless double beta decay and cosmology
When three Majorana neutrinos describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data via oscillations, a nonzero measurement of neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay can determine the sum of neutrino masses ∑ mν if the solar solution has small-angle mixing, and place a lower bound on ∑ mν for large-angle solar mixing. If in addition a nonzero ∑ mν is deduced from cosmology, the neutrino mass spectrum...
متن کاملNeutrinoless double b decay and effective field theory
We analyze neutrinoless double b decay (0nbb decay! mediated by heavy particles from the standpoint of effective field theory. We show how symmetries of the 0nbb-decay quark operators arising in a given particle physics model determine the form of the corresponding effective, hadronic operators. We classify the latter according to their symmetry transformation properties as well as the order at...
