Heavy Majorana neutrino production at future ep colliders

Abstract

The heavy singlet Majorana neutrinos are introduced to generate the neutrino mass in the so-called phenomenological type-I seesaw mechanism. The phenomena induced by the heavy Majorana neutrinos are important to search for new physics. In this paper, we explore the heavy Majorana neutrino production and decay at future e−p colliders. The corresponding cross sections via W and photon fusion are predicted for different collider energies. Combined with the results of the heavy Majorana neutrino production via single W exchange, this work can provide helpful information to search for heavy Majorana neutrinos at future e−p colliders.
