Lepton number violating (LNV) $A(e^-,e^+)X$ double charge exchange (LDCE) reactions on nuclei at accelerator facilities with multi-GeV beams are proposed as a probe for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). A second order formalism is…
Neutrinoless double beta decay, lepton number violating collider processes and the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) are intimately related. In particular lepton number violating processes at low energies in combination with sphaleron…

We examine the e-e- -> W-W- lepton number violating process in the frame of the Standard Model with additional right-handed neutrino singlets. We give results in the framework of the `see-saw' as well as other models, where there is no…
Interactions that manifest themselves as lepton number violating processes at low energies in combination with sphaleron transitions typically erase any preexisting baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this article, we discuss the…

After confirmation of massiveness and mixing of neutrinos, by neutrino oscillation data, the origin of neutrino mass and the occurrence of charged-lepton-flavor non-conservation in nature have become two main objectives for the physics of…
Heavy Majorana neutrinos are predicted in addition to ordinary active neutrinos in the models with the seesaw mechanism. We investigate the lepton number violation (LNV) in $B$ decays induced by such a heavy neutrino $N$ with GeV-scale…
Influence of the neutrino mass submatrix $M_L$ on the e-e- -> W-W- process is discussed. Taking into account various possible CP signatures of heavy neutrinos it is shown that, in some cases, nonzero $M_L$ substantially changes predictions…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is the only process known so far able to test the neutrino intrinsic nature: its experimental observation would imply that the lepton number is violated by two units and prove that neutrinos have a Majorana…
$\Delta L =2$ lepton number violation (LNV) at the TeV scale could provide an alternative interpretation of positive signal(s) in future neutrinoless double beta $(0\nu\beta\beta)$ decay experiments. An interesting class of models from this…
The decay rate of neutrinoless double beta decay could be dominated by short-range diagrams involving heavy scalar particles ("topology-II" diagrams). Examples are diagrams with diquarks, leptoquarks or charged scalars. Here, we compare the…
The experimental observation of lepton-number violating processes would unambiguously indicate the Majorana nature of neutrinos. Various $\Delta L$ = 2 processes for pseudoscalar meson $M_1$ decays to another pseudoscalar meson $M_2$ and…
We discuss the contributions of lepton-number-violating sources to neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). Assuming that these sources arise at scales well above the electroweak scale, they can be described within an effective…
There is no guarantee that the violation of lepton number, assuming it exists, will primarily manifest itself in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). Lepton-number violation and lepton-flavor violation may be related, and…
