High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-11 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

Heavy Majorana neutrinos are predicted in addition to ordinary active neutrinos in the models with the seesaw mechanism. We investigate the lepton number violation (LNV) in BB decays induced by such a heavy neutrino NN with GeV-scale mass. Especially, we consider the decay channel B+μ+Nμ+μ+πB^+ \to \mu^+ \, N \to \mu^+ \mu^+ \pi^- and derive the sensitivity limits on the mixing angle Θμ\Theta_\mu by the future search experiments at Belle II and in e+ee^+ e^- collisions at the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee).
