Abstract

We analyze the single and pair production of excited neutrinos at the CLIC through the processes e+eννˉe^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \nu^{*} \bar{\nu}, e+ee+γee+νWe^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}\gamma^{*} e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+} \nu^{*} W^{-}, and e+ee+γγee+ννˉee^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}\gamma^{*} \gamma^{*} e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+} \nu^{*} \bar{\nu}^{*} e^{-} (γ\gamma^{*} is the Weizsacker-Williams photon). We examine comprehensively the excited neutrino signal and corresponding backgrounds to obtain limits on excited neutrino mass for various values of the integrated luminosity and center-of-mass energy. We show that the obtained bounds are more restricted than current experimental bounds.
