Neutrinoless double beta decay is a process that violates lepton number conservation. It is predicted to occur in extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. This Letter reports the results from Phase I of the GERmanium Detector…
In the minimal supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model, a non-zero lepton number violating coupling lambda'_111 predicts both neutrinoless double beta decay and resonant single slepton production at the LHC. We show that, in this…
We study a model in which lepton number violation is solely triggered by a dimension 4 hard breaking term in the scalar potential. A minimal model which contains a SU(2) triplet with hypercharge Y=2, and a pair of singlet doubly charged…
The experimental rate of neutrinoless double beta decay can be saturated by the exchange of virtual sterile neutrinos, that mix with the ordinary neutrinos and are heavier than 200 MeV. Interestingly, this hypothesis is subject only to…
Supersymmetric theories with significant lepton flavor violation have $\tilde{e}$ and $\tilde{\mu}$ nearly degenerate. In this case, pair production of $\tilde{e}^+ \tilde{e}^-$ and $\tilde{\mu}^+ \tilde{\mu}^-$ at LEPII and at the Next…

A search for the charged-lepton-flavor-violating process $Z\rightarrow e\mu$ is presented, using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. An excess in the $e\mu$ invariant mass…
The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would allow to establish lepton number violation and the Majorana nature of neutrinos. The rate of this process in the case of 3-neutrino mixing is controlled by the neutrinoless double beta…
We briefly discuss two possible manifestations of the lepton number violating reaction $e^-e^- \to W_i^-W_j^{(*)-}$, which probes the masses and mixings of heavy Majorana neutrinos, at the Next Linear Collider(NLC). Cross sections for this…

The lepton number and flavor violations are important possible ingredients of the lepton physics. The neutrinoless double beta decay and the transition of the muonium into antimuonuim are related to those violations. The former can give us…
