A note on Majorana neutrinos, leptonic CKM and electron electric dipole moment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electric dipole moment of the electron, de, is known to vanish up to threeloops in the standard model with massless neutrinos. However, if neutrinos are massive Majorana particles, we obtain the result that de induced by leptonic CKM mechanism is non-vanishing at two-loop order, and it applies to all massive Majorana neutrino models.

Heavy Majorana Neutrinos and Baryogenesis ∗
The scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis is reviewed in models involving heavy Majorana neutrinos. The various mechanisms of CP violation occurring in the outof-equilibrium lepton-number-violating decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos are studied within a resummation approach to unstable-particle mixing. It is explicitly demonstrated how the resummation approach preserves crucial field-th...
متن کاملCP Violation and Baryogenesis due to Heavy Majorana Neutrinos
We analyze the scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis induced by the out-ofequilibrium decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos and pay special attention to CP violation. Extending a recently proposed resummation formalism for two-fermion mixing to decay amplitudes, we calculate the resonant phenomenon of CP violation due to the mixing of two nearly degenerate heavy Majorana neutrinos. Solving...
متن کاملMajorana neutrinos and their electromagnetic properties
To help develop a picture of Majorana neutrinos, we study their electromagnetic properties. We show' that CPT invariance forbids a Majorana neutrino from having a magnetic or electric dipole moment. Then, by considering the process y~vV, we find the most general expression for the matrix element of the electromagnetic current of a Majorana neutrino. The result is verified in a way which leads u...
متن کاملElectric Dipole Moments of Leptons in the Presence of Majorana Neutrinos
We calculate the two-loop diagrams that give a non-zero contribution to the electric dipole moment dl of a charged lepton l due to possible Majorana masses of neutrinos. Using the example with one generation of the Standard Model leptons and two heavy right-handed neutrinos, we demonstrate that the non-vanishing result for dl first appears in order O(mlm 2 νG 2 F ), where mν is the mass of the ...
متن کاملElectric dipole moments of charged leptons from their Majorana-type Yukawa couplings
The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of charged leptons are significantly suppressed in standard model. It has been found previously that they are even more severely suppressed in seesaw type models by powers of tiny neutrino masses as far as a leptonic CP source is concerned. We investigate whether a Majorana-type Yukawa coupling between charged leptons and a doubly charged scalar can contribute...
