6 2007/11/06High Energy Physics Journal club6 Dirac field can be constructed from two Majorana fields Dirac field has additional freedom of phase trasformation It is largely anticipated that the neutrinos are Majorana particles: Correspondence between Dirac and Majoana fields

7 2007/11/06High Energy Physics Journal club7 Other possible mechanisms How to induce small neutrino masses? Model with scalar triplet: Model with right-handed neutrino and scalar singlet: In Zee model (with charged scalar singlet and additional scalar doublets) Majorana neutrino masses arise at one loop level; In models with doubly charged scalar singlet Majorana neutrino masses arise at two loop level; Models with effective nonrenormalizable term in Lagrangian:

10 2007/11/06High Energy Physics Journal club10 Two possible classes of mechanisms for the 0 2  decay: Long range Short range (with the light s in the intermediate state) Probable mechanisms of LN violation may include exchanges by: Majorana neutrinos Scalar bilinears, e.g. doubly charged dileptons SUSY particles Leptoquarks Right-handed W_R bosons etc. d d u u d d u u

11 2007/11/06High Energy Physics Journal club11 According to the Schechter-Valle theorem, any mechanism inducing the 0 2  decay produces an effective Majorana mass for the neutrino, which must therefore contribute to this decay. Purpose: to examine the possibility to discriminate among the various possible mechanisms contributing to the 0 2  decays using the information on the angular correlation of the final electrons. dd uu ee

26 2007/11/06High Energy Physics Journal club26 Conclusion We have presented a detailed study of the electron angular correlation for the long range mechanism of 0 2  decays in a general theoretical context. This information, together with the ability of observing these decays in several nuclei, would help greatly in identifying the dominant mechanism underlying these decays. The running experimental facility that in principle can measure the electron angular correlation in the 0 2  decay NEMO3 possibly has no the sufficient sensitivity. The proposed facilities are SuperNEMO, MOON and EXO. We have argued that there is a strong case in building at least one of them.
