Lepton number violation by heavy Majorana neutrino in $B$ decays

Abstract

Heavy Majorana neutrinos are predicted in addition to ordinary active neutrinos in the models with the seesaw mechanism. We investigate the lepton number violation (LNV) in $B$ decays induced by such a heavy neutrino $N$ with GeV-scale mass. Especially, we consider the decay channel $B^+ \to \mu^+ \, N \to \mu^+ \mu^+ \pi^-$ and derive the sensitivity limits on the mixing angle $\Theta_\mu$ by the future search experiments at Belle II and in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee).
