Abstract

We investigate TeV scale seesaw scenarios at μ+e\mu^+ e^- and μ+μ+\mu^+ \mu^+ colliders in the μ\muTRISTAN experiment. In minimal type-I seesaw scenario we consider two generations of Standard Model (SM) singlet heavy Majorana type Right Handed Neutrinos (RHNs) which couples with SM gauge bosons through light-heavy neutrino mixing. We discuss the prospects of probing heavy neutrinos via the processes such as μ+eνNie+jjν\mu^+e^-\to \nu N_i\to e^+ j j\nu or μjjν\mu^- j j\nu for s=346\sqrt{s}=346~GeV and 1 ab11\text{ ab}^{-1} luminosity. Studying these process, we estimate limits on the light-heavy neutrino mixing angles as a function of heavy neutrino mass, which could be two orders of magnitude stronger than electroweak precision data. Further, we study the effect of doubly charged scalar boson (H++)(H^{++}) from the type-II seesaw scenario in μ+μ+\mu^+ \mu^+ collision at s=2\sqrt{s}=2 TeV. In this case we consider μ+μ+i+j+\mu^+ \mu^+ \to \ell_i^+ \ell_j^+ and μ+μ+H++Z/γ\mu^+ \mu^+ \to H^{++} Z/ \gamma processes followed by the same sign dilepton decay of H++H^{++}. We find that events involving e+e+e^+ e^+ among these final states can probe the neutrino mass ordering in μ\muTRISTAN experiment at 5σ\sigma significance. In addition to that we study the production of positively charged triplet fermion in μ\muTRISTAN following μ+μ+μ+Σ+\mu^+ \mu^+ \to \mu^+ \Sigma^+ process where Σ+\Sigma^+ decays into μ+jj\mu^+ jj mode through ZZ boson exchange. Considering a triplet at 1 TeV and studying SM backgrounds we estimate the discovery potential of μ+μ+jj\mu^+ \mu^+ jj signal at μ\muTRISTAN with respect to projected luminosity.
