Signatures for Majorana neutrinos at hadron colliders
Abstract
Description
The Majorana nature of neutrinos may only be experimentally verified via lepton-number violating processes involving charged leptons. We explore the $ΔL=2$ like-sign dilepton production at hadron colliders to search for signals of Majorana neutrinos. We find significant sensitivity for resonant production of a Majorana neutrino in the mass range of 10-80 GeV at the current run of the Tevatron with 2 fb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity, and in the range of 10-400 GeV at the LHC with 100 fb$^{-1}$.
