Majorana neutrinos with effective interactions in B decays

Abstract

We investigate the possible contribution of Majorana neutrinos to $B$ meson decays in an effective interaction formalism, in the mass range $0.5$ GeV $<m_N<5$ GeV. We study the decay of the $B^{-}$ meson via $B^{-}\to {\mu }^{-}{\mu }^{-}{\pi }^{+}$ at LHCb, which is a signal for leptonic number violation and the presence of Majorana neutrinos, and put bounds on different new physics contributions, characterized by their Dirac-Lorentz structure. We also study the bounds imposed by the radiative $B$ decay ($B^{-}\to {\mu }^{-}\nu \gamma$) results from Belle. The obtained bounds are more restrictive than previous values found for dimension 6 four-fermion contact vectorial and scalar Majorana neutrino interactions in the context of the Left-Right symmetric model for higher Majorana masses at the LHC, showing that the direct calculation of the effective $N$ interactions contribution to different processes can help to put more stringent bounds to different UV-complete models parameterized by an effective Lagrangian.
