Neutrinoless double β decays of the top quark and other effects of heavy Majorana neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the rare decay of the top quark into a pair of same charge leptons (with identical or different flavors), a b quark and a (real or virtual) W−. The above process proceeds only if the exchanged neutrino N is of the Majorana type. This decay is the neutrinoless double β decay of the top. We find measurable values for its rate at the LHC with luminosity of 100fb−1. Furthermore, we consider an interaction of charged Higgs bosons with N which leads to lepton number violating processes such as pp → lN → l+l+H−, exhibiting spectacular events of the type l+l+bb̄+ 2 jets.

Semileptonic lepton - number / flavour - violating τ decays in Majorana neutrino models
Motivated by the recent investigation of neutrinoless τ-lepton decays by the CLEO collaboration , we perform a systematic analysis of such decays in a possible new-physics scenario with heavy Dirac/Majorana neutrinos, including heavy-neutrino nondecoupling effects, finite quark masses, and quark as well as meson mixings. We find that τ-lepton decays into an electron or muon and a pseudoscalar o...
متن کاملHEAVY MAJORANA NEUTRINOS IN HIGH-ENERGY e e COLLISIONS COMPARED WITH THEIR EFFECTS INDUCING NEUTRINOLESS DOUBLE BETA DECAY
We discuss the potential of e e collisions at energies comparable to the masses of heavy Majorana neutrinos to reveal their mass and mixing parameters. This potential is compared with the low-energy environment in neutrinoless double beta decay of complex nuclei. We give estimates for the short-range repulsion between any pair of valence quarks bound inside two di erent nucleons giving rise to ...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillations and neutrinoless double-β decay
We consider the scheme with mixing of three neutrinos and a mass hierarchy. We shown that, under the natural assumptions that massive neutrinos are Majorana particles and there are no unlikely fine-tuned cancellations among the contributions of the different neutrino masses, the results of solar neutrino experiments imply a lower bound for the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double-β de...
متن کاملMajorana Neutrinos, CP-Violation, Neutrinoless Double-Beta and Tritium-Beta Decays
If the present or upcoming searches for neutrinoless double β− ((ββ)0ν -) decay give a positive result, the Majorana nature of massive neutrinos will be established. From the determination of the value of the (ββ)0ν -decay effective Majorana mass parameter (|| ), it would be possible to obtain information on the type of neutrino mass spectrum. Assuming 3-ν mixing and massive Majorana neutrin...

Considering the scheme with mixing of three neutrinos and a mass hierarchy that can accommodate the results of solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments, it is shown that the results of solar neutrino experiments imply a lower bound for the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double-β decay, under the natural assumptions that massive neutrinos are Majorana particles and there are no unlike...
