Abstract
Neutrino oscillations as suggested by the recent Super-Kamiokande result imply that lepton numbers could be violated, and Z is a typical manifestation. We point out that for this mode, the GIM cancelation is much milder with only a logarithmic behavior where is the neutrino mass. The ratio (Z Z could be about , in sharp contrast with the vanishingly small rate strongly suppressed by a quadratic power . Being complementary to neutrino oscillation experiments, measurements of Z -- which are at hand with the present colliders -- would give one more constraint to the lepton mixing angle and the neutrino mass ratio .
