TeV Scale Left-Right Symmetry and Large Mixing Effects in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
Abstract
We analyze various contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay () in a TeV-scale Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRSM) for type-I seesaw dominance. We find that the momentum-dependent effects due to exchange (-diagram) and mixing (-diagram) could give dominant contributions to the amplitude in a wide range of the LRSM parameter space. In particular, for a relatively large mixing, the -contribution by itself could saturate the current experimental limit on the half-life, thereby providing stringent constraints on the relevant LRSM parameters, complementary to the indirect constraints derived from lepton flavor violating observables. In a simplified scenario parametrized by a single light-heavy neutrino mixing, the inclusion of the and contributions leads to significantly improved constraints on the light-heavy neutrino mixing as well as on the mixing parameters. We also present a concrete TeV-scale LRSM setup, where the mixing effects are manifestly enhanced, and discuss the interplay between , lepton flavor violation and electric dipole moment constraints.
