CP Violation in Heavy Neutrino Mediated $e^- e^- \to W^- W^-$

Abstract

We consider the reaction $e^- e^- \rightarrow W^- W^-$ mediated by possible heavy neutrino exchange at future LINAC energies of $\sqrt{s}>> 2 m_W$. This reaction is sensitive to CP phases of the neutrino mixing matrices, even at the level of Born amplitudes. Certain integrated cross-sections are shown to have the power to resolve the CP phases when the experimental configurations are varied. Asymmetries sensitive to CP violation (involving initial QED phases) for $e^- e^-$ and $e^+ e^+$ reactions are constructed and their consequences considered.
