We show that discovery of baryon number violation in two processes with at least one obeying the selection rule Delta (B-L) = pm 2 can determine the Majorana character of neutrinos. Thus observing p to e^+ pi^0 and n to e^- pi^0 decays, or p to e^+ pi^0 and n-nbar oscillations, or n to e^- pi^+ and n-nbar oscillations would establish that neutrinos are Majorana particles. We discuss this in a model-independent effective operator approach.

Geometric (Aharonov--Anandan) phases in neutrino oscillations have been claimed [Phys. Lett. B 780 (2018) 216] to be sensitive to the Majorana phases in neutrino mixing. More recently, however, it has been pointed out [Phys. Lett. B 818 (2021) 136376
] that the proposed phases are not gauge invariant. Using both kinematic and geometric approaches, we show that all gauge-invariant Aharonov--Anandan phases (including the off-diagonal geometric phases associated with flavor transitions) are independent of the Majorana phases. This finding, which generalizes the well-known fact that conventional oscillation experiments cannot discern the Dirac or Majorana nature of the neutrino, implies that a hypothetical interference experiment cannot distinguish between the two either.
Gluinos and neutralinos, supersymmetric partners of gluons and neutral electroweak gauge and Higgs bosons, are Majorana particles in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model [MSSM]. Decays of such self-conjugate particles generate charge symmetric e
nsembles of final states. Moreover, production channels of supersymmetric particles at colliders are characteristically affected by the Majorana nature of particles exchanged in the production processes. The sensitivity to the Majorana character of the particles can be quantified by comparing the predictions with Dirac exchange mechanisms. A consistent framework for introducing gluino and neutralino Dirac fields can be designed by extending the N=1 supersymmetry of the MSSM to N=2 in the gauge sector. We examine to which extent like-sign dilepton production in the processes q q -> ~q ~q and e- e- -> ~e- ~e- is affected by the exchange of either Majorana or Dirac gluinos and neutralinos, respectively, at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and in the prospective e- e- mode of a lepton linear collider.
We analyze many aspects of the phenomenon of the decoherence for neutrinos propagating in long baseline experiments. We show that, in the presence of an off-diagonal term in the dissipative matrix, the Majorana neutrino can violate the CP T symmetry,
which, on the contrary, is preserved for Dirac neutrinos. We show that oscillation formulas for Majorana neutrinos depend on the choice of the mixing matrix U. Indeed, different choices of U lead to different oscillation formulas. Moreover, we study the possibility to reveal the differences between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in the oscillations. We use the present values of the experimental parameters in order to relate our theoretical proposal with experiments.
We have proposed to use an effective theory to describe interactions of an $Nbar N$-system. The effective theory can be constructed in analogy to the existing effective theory for an $NN$-system. In this work we study the next-to-leading order correc
tion to $Nbar N$ scattering near the threshold in the effective theory. We find that the experimental data can be well described with the effective theory.
The Schechter-Valle theorem states that a positive observation of neutrinoless double-beta ($0 u beta beta$) decays implies a finite Majorana mass term for neutrinos when any unlikely fine-tuning or cancellation is absent. In this note, we reexamine
the quantitative impact of the Schechter-Valle theorem, and find that current experimental lower limits on the half-lives of $0 u beta beta$-decaying nuclei have placed a restrictive upper bound on the Majorana neutrino mass $|delta m^{ee}_ u| < 7.43 times 10^{-29}~{rm eV}$ radiatively generated at the four-loop level. Furthermore, we generalize this quantitative analysis of $0 u beta beta$ decays to that of the lepton-number-violating (LNV) meson decays $M^- to {M^prime}^+ + ell^-_alpha + ell^-_beta$ (for $alpha$, $beta$ = $e$ or $mu$). Given the present upper limits on these rare LNV decays, we have derived the loop-induced Majorana neutrino masses $|delta m^{ee}_ u| < 9.7 times 10^{-18}~{rm eV}$, $|delta m^{emu}_ u| < 1.6 times 10^{-15}~{rm eV}$ and $|delta m^{mu mu}_ u| < 1.0 times 10^{-12}~{rm eV}$ from $K^- to pi^+ + e^- + e^-$, $K^- to pi^+ + e^- + mu^-$ and $K^- to pi^+ + mu^- + mu^-$, respectively. A partial list of radiative neutrino masses from the LNV decays of $D$, $D_s^{}$ and $B$ mesons is also given.
