A Nondiagonal Pair of Majorana Particles at $e^+e^-$ Colliders
Abstract
We perform a comprehensive and model-independent analysis for characterizing the spin and dynamical structure of the production of a non-diagonal pair of Majorana particles with different masses and arbitrary spins, , followed by a sequential two-body decay, , of the heavier particle into a gauge boson and the lighter particle escaping undetected at high-energy colliders. Standard leptonic -boson decays, with or , are employed for precisely diagnosing the polarization influenced by the production and decay processes. Based on helicity formalism and Wick helicity rotation for describing the correlated production-decay amplitudes and distributions, we work out the implications on the amplitudes and distributions of discrete CP symmetry and the Majorana condition that two particles are their own anti-particles. For the sake of a concrete illustration, an example of this type in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model is investigated in detail.
