چکیده
Can one make a Majorana field theory for fermions starting from the zero mass Weyl theory, then adding a mass term as an interaction? The answer to this question is: yes we can. We can proceed similarly to the case of the Dirac massive field theory[1]. In both cases one can start from the zero mass Weyl theory and then add a mass term as an interacting term of massless particles with a constant ( external ) field. In both cases the interaction gives rise to a field theory for a free massive fermion field. We present the procedure for the creation of a mass term in the case of the Dirac and the Majorana field and we look for a massive field as a superposition of massless fields.

00 1 A demonstration that the observed neutrinos are not Majorana particles
A demonstration that the observed neutrinos are not Majorana particles Abstract It is shown that Majorana neutrinos cannot couple vectorially to the neutral-current SU(2) L x U(1) gauge field of the standard model. Since strong evidence for the existence of such a vector coupling in neutral current reactions has recently been presented by the Charm II collaboration, it is unlikely that the obse...

The theoretical basics of neutrino mass and mixing are reviewed. Dirac and Majorana masses are explained, and added together to produce the see-saw picture of the lightness of neutrinos. This picture predicts that neutrinos are Majorana particles. The character, and an apparent paradox, of Majorana neutrinos are examined. The physics of neutrino flavor change (oscillation), in vacuo and in matt...

The origin of neutrino mass is usually attributed to a seesaw mechanism, either through a heavy Majorana fermion singlet (version 1) or a heavy scalar triplet (version 2). Recently, the idea of using a heavy Majorana fermion triplet (version 3) has gained some attention. This is a review of the basic idea involved, its U(1) gauge extension, and some recent developments.

We consider the non-radiative two body decay of a neutrino to a daughter neutrino with degraded energy and a very light particle (Majoron). Ultrahigh energy neutrinos from an astrophysical source like a Gamma Ray Burst undergoing this decay process are found to produce different number of events in the detector depending on whether they are Majorana or Dirac particles. The next generation large...

The kinks of the (1+1)-dimensional Wess-Zumino model with polynomic superpotential are investigated and shown to be related to real algebraic curves. 1 The dimensional reduction of the (3+1)-dimensional Wess-Zumino model, produces an interesting (1+1)-dimensional Bose-Fermi system; this field theory enjoys N=2 extended supersymmetry provided that the interactions are introduced via a real harmo...
