Heavy Majorana neutrinos at a very large electron-proton collider

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We study the discovery potential for detecting new neutral heavy Majorana leptons as suggested by some extentions of the Standard Model in recently proposed electron-proton colliders. Since 1998-1999 the option of an electron-proton collider for the Very Large Hadron Collider at Fermilab operating with the proton booster has been considered. We study the reaction epe++jetse^{-}p \longrightarrow e^{+}+ jets and present estimates for the signal and Standard Model background including hadronization.
