Dissecting lepton number violating interactions in the left-right symmetric model: 0νββ decay, Møller scattering, and collider searches
Creators
Abstract
In the context of the left-right symmetric model, we study the interplay of neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay, parity-violating Møller scattering, and high-energy colliders, resulting from the Yukawa interaction of the right-handed doubly-charged scalar to electrons, which could evade the severe constraints from charged lepton flavor violation. The 0νββ decay amplitude receives additional contributions from right-handed sterile neutrinos. The half-life, calculated in the effective field theory framework, allows for an improved description of the contributions involving non-zero mixing between left- and right-handed W bosons and those arising from exchanging a light right-handed neutrino. We find that the relative sensitivities between the low-energy (or high-precision) and high-energy experiments are affected by the left-right mixing. On the other hand, our results show how the interplay of collider and low-energy searches provides a manner to explore regions that are inaccessible to 0νββ decay experiments.
