Abstract

In this work, we study the lepton number violating tau decays via intermediate on-shell Majorana neutrinos NjN_j into two scalar mesons and a lepton τ±M1±NjM1±M2±\tau^{\pm} \to M_1{}^{\pm} N_j \to M_1^{\pm} M_2^{\pm} \ell^{\mp}. We calculate the Branching ratios Br(τ±)Br(\tau^{\pm}) and the CP asymmetry (Γ(τ+)Γ(τ))/(Γ(τ+)+Γ(τ))(\Gamma(\tau^+) - \Gamma(\tau^-))/(\Gamma(\tau^+) + \Gamma(\tau^-)) for such decays, in a scenario that contain at least two heavy Majorana neutrinos. The results show that the CP asymmetry is small, but becomes comparable with the branching ratio Br(τ±){\rm Br}(\tau^{\pm}) when their mass difference is comparable with their decay width, ΔMNΓN\Delta M_N \sim \Gamma_N. On the other hand, we present regions of the heavy-light neutrino mixing elements, in which the CPCP asymmetry could be explore in future tau factories.
