Scale of Mass Generation for Majorana Neutrinos
Scales of mass generation for Majorana neutrinos (as well as quarks and leptons) can be probed from high energy 2 → n inelastic scattering involving a multiple longitudinal gauge boson final state. We demonstrate that the unitarity of 2 → n scattering puts the strongest new upper limit on the scale of fermion mass generation, independent of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale v = ( √ 2GF ) ...
متن کاملThe effects of Majorana phases in three-generation neutrinos
Neutrino-oscillation solutions for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and the solar neutrino deficit can determine the texture of the neutrino mass matrix according to three types of neutrino mass hierarchies as Type A: m1 ≪ m2 ≪ m3, Type B: m1 ∼ m2 ≫ m3 , and Type C: m1 ∼ m2 ∼ m3, where mi is the i-th generation neutrino absolute mass. The relative sign assignments of neutrino masses in each typ...
متن کاملScales of mass generation for quarks, leptons, and majorana neutrinos.
We study 2-->n inelastic fermion-(anti)fermion scattering into multiple longitudinal weak gauge bosons and derive universal upper bounds on the scales of fermion mass generation by imposing unitarity of the S matrix. We place new upper limits on the scales of fermion mass generation, independent of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. Strikingly, we find that the strongest 2-->n limits fall...
متن کاملOn Teraelectronvolt Majorana Neutrinos
The issue of existence of Majorana neutrinos with masses of the order of TeV and substantial couplings is addressed. A general neutrino mass matrix Mν with both features is constructed, however, the form of Mν is constrained very much by severe relations among the elements of mD and MR submatrices of Mν . These general relations follow from the perturbative construction of the light neutrino ma...
متن کاملLeptogenesis with virtual Majorana neutrinos
We present a mechanism of leptogenesis based on the out-of-equilibrium decay of a scalar particle into heavy virtual Majorana neutrinos. This scheme presents many conceptual advantages over the conventional scenario of Fukugita and Yanagida. In particular, the standard techniques of quantum field theory can be used to compute the lepton asymmetry, without resorting to the phenomenological appro...
