Double Beta Decay Constraint on Composite Neutrinos

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

Neutrinoless double beta decay occurs through the magnetic coupling of dimension five, λW/mν\lambda_W/m_{\nu*}, among the excited electron neutrino ν\nu^*, electron and WW boson if ν\nu^* is a massive Majorana neutrino. (\lambda_W m_W / m_{\nu*}^2 |\frac{(m_*/m_W) +2}{(m_*/m_W +1)^2} -0.129{m_*/m_W} | <2.13\times 10^{-2}, where λW\lambda_W is the relative strength, mνm_{\nu*} is the composite scale and mm_* is the mass of excited neutrino. If the coupling is not small, i.e., λW>1\lambda_W>1 and mν=mm_{\nu*}=m_*, we find m>3.4mWm_*>3.4 m_W.
