Left-Right Symmetric Models at the High-Intensity Frontier

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-07-03 v3

Abstract

We study constraints on Left-Right Symmetric models from searches of semileptonic decays of DD, DsD_{s}, BB mesons, mediated by heavy neutrinos NN with masses mNm_N\sim GeV that go on their mass shell leading to a resonant enhancement of the rates. Using these processes we examine, as a function of mNm_N and MWRM_{W_R}, the physics reach of the recently proposed high-intensity beam dump experiment SHiP, which is expected to produce a large sample of DsD_s mesons. We compare these results with the corresponding reach of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments, as well as like-sign dilepton searches with displaced vertices at the LHC. We conclude that the SHiP experiment has clear advantages in probing the Left-Right Symmetric models for heavy neutrinos in the GeV mass range.
