Abstract

The Majorana nature of neutrinos may only be experimentally verified via lepton-number violating processes involving charged leptons. We explore the ΔL=2\Delta L=2 like-sign dilepton production at hadron colliders to search for signals of Majorana neutrinos. We find significant sensitivity for resonant production of a Majorana neutrino in the mass range of 10-80 GeV at the current run of the Tevatron with 2 fb1^{-1} integrated luminosity, and in the range of 10-400 GeV at the LHC with 100 fb1^{-1}.
