Bounds on Compositeness from Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

Assuming the existence of a heavy Majorana neutral particle arising from a composite model scenario we discuss the constraints imposed by present experimental limits of half-life neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ)(0\nu\beta\beta ) measurements on the coupling of the heavy composite neutrinos to the gauge bosons. For neutrino masses MN=1M_N = 1 TeV we obtain a rather weak lower bound on the compositeness scale: Λ0.23\Lambda \ge 0.23 TeV.
