We analyze the capacity of future $Z$-factories to search for heavy neutrinos with their mass from 10 to 85 GeV. The heavy neutrinos $N$ are considered to be produced via the process $e^+e^-\to Z\to \nu N$ and to decay into an electron or…
We investigate the possibility of detecting Majorana neutrinos at the Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC), an electron-proton collision mode at CERN. We study the $l_j^{+} + 3 jets$ ($l_j\equiv e ,\mu ,\tau$) final states which are, due…
In an $e^- p$ collider, a striking signature for a dilepton gauge boson is \ep \ ; this cross-section is calculated by using the helicity amplitude technique. At HERA, with center-of-mass energy $\sqrt s = 314 GeV$, a dilepton mass above…
The production and decay of exotic leptons are discussed in the context of the vector singlet, vector doublet and fer\-mion mirror-fer\-mion models, at c.m. energies $\sqrt{s}=190GeV$ (LEP II) and $\sqrt{s}=500GeV$ (NLC). The model…
We study the connection between charged lepton electric dipole moments, $d_l$ $(l=e,\mu,\tau)$, and seesaw neutrino mass generation in a simple two Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model plus three right-handed neutrinos (RHN) $N_a$,…
The possible form of New Physics (NP) interactions affecting the ZZZ, $ZZ \gamma$ and $Z\gamma \gamma$ vertices, is critically examined. Their signatures and the possibilities to study them, through ZZ and $Z\gamma$ production, at the…
It is known that the charged lepton masses obey to high precision an interesting empirical relation (Koide relation). In turn, the light neutrino masses cannot obey such a relation. We note that if neutrinos acquire their mass via the…
Lepton-number violation (LNV), in general, implies nonzero Majorana masses for the Standard Model neutrinos. Since neutrino masses are very small, for generic candidate models of the physics responsible for LNV, the rates for almost all…
The mass term for Majorana neutrinos explicitly violates lepton number. Several authors have used this fact to create a lepton asymmetry in the universe by considering CP violating effects in the one loop self-energy correction for the…
We consider the minimal model of the seesaw mechanism by introducing two right-handed neutrinos, whose masses are comparable to the electroweak scale. This framework is attractive, since it is testable at terrestrial experiments. A critical…
The total cross-sections of the reaction e+e- --> W+W-, as measured at LEP-II at centre-of-mass energies between 183 and 207 GeV are used to derive the upper limits on the parameters of CP-violating (P-odd and C-even) triple gauge-boson…
We argue that future e^{+} e^{-} linear colliders can produce many sneutrinos if lepton-number violating couplings lambda_{1j1} exist and enough beam polarization is obtained. The terms lambda_{ijk} L_{i} L_{j} E_{k}^{c} are allowed in a…
If extra gauge bosons are observed at the LHC or at a linear e+e- collider, the reaction e+e- --> nu nubar gamma can give information on the couplings (W' nu l) and (Z' nu nubar). The total cross section and polarization asymmetries are the…
The Monte Carlo generator {\sc Major} 1.5 simulates the production and decay of heavy Majorana neutrinos via lepton mixing or exchange of `light' right-handed $W$-bosons in deep inelastic scattering, i.e. $e^{\pm} p \rightarrow {N} X…
We consider the process $e^+e^-\to N_1N_2$, where $N_1$ and $N_2$ are heavy Majorana particles, with relative $CP$ given by $\eta_{CP}=+1$ or $-1$, decaying subsequently via $N_1,N_2\to W^{\pm}e^{\mp}$. We derive the energy and angle…
We perform a comparative study of the reach of future $e^+e^-$ collider options for the scale of non-resonant new physics effects in the top quark sector, phrased in the language of higher-dimensional operators. Our focus is on the…
We determine the NNLO electroweak correction to the $e^+ e^-\to b\bar{b}W^+W^- X$ production cross section near the top-pair production threshold. The calculation includes non-resonant production of the final state as well as electroweak…
If the Standard Model is embedded in a left-right symmetric gauge theory at the TeV scale, the pair production of light W-bosons in e^+e^- collisions, e^+e^- -> W^+W^-, will be affected by mixings in the gauge and neutrino sectors, and by…
We investigate if the projected high-precision measurements of the cross section of the Higgsstrahlung process $e^+ e^- \to Zh$ at a future electron-positron collider can be utilised to indirectly probe the fermionic Seesaw models. We…
