Measuring CP violation in rare $W$ decays at the LHC
Abstract
Heavy Majorana neutrinos beyond the standard model can simultaneously explain the origin of tiny neutrino masses and matter-antimatter asymmetry in our Universe. The existence of heavy Majorana neutrinos will also lead to lepton number violation and the rare lepton-number-violating decays are possible. With contributions from two different Majorana neutrinos, a nonzero CP asymmetry may be generated from the rate difference between decay and its CP-conjugate process. The aim of this paper is to investigate the prospects for measuring CP violation in rare decays via Majorana neutrinos at the LHC. Our calculations show that the induced CP asymmetry is independent of the Majorana neutrino mass for . Such a CP asymmetry if observed, would in turn provide unambiguous evidence of new physics beyond the standard model.
