Electric Dipole Moments of Leptons in the Presence of Majorana Neutrinos
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 light neutrino and the see-saw type relation is imposed. This effect is beyond the reach of presently planned experiments.

Electric 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...
متن کاملA note on Majorana neutrinos, leptonic CKM and electron electric dipole moment
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.
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 کاملThe Toroid Moment of Majorana Neutrino
If neutrino is the Majorana particle it can possess only one electromagnetic characteristic, the toroid dipole moment (anapole) in the static limit and nothing else. We have calculated the diagonal toroid moment (form factor) of the Majorana neutrino by the dispersion method in the one-loop approximation of the Standard Model and found it to be different from zero in the case of massive as well...
متن کاملElectrophobic Lorentz invariance violation for neutrinos and the see-saw mechanism
We show how Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) can occur for Majorana neutrinos, without inducing LIV in the charged leptons via radiative corrections. Such “electrophobic” LIV is due to the Majorana nature of the LIV operator together with electric charge conservation. Being free from the strong constraints coming from the charged lepton sector, electrophobic LIV can in principle be as large a...
