Abstract
We consider the model based on the gauge group with Majorana neutrinos. In this model the transit dipole magnetic moment which is associated with the transition may be as large as a . The possible manifestations of the at hadron colliders are investigated. In doing so, we assume that one of the three heavy right-handed neutrinos is on the electroweak scale. The process of production , with the subsequent decay through the channel , is investigated. Problems caused by selecting the signal from background is examined. It is shown that the process in question is the most perspective one for detecting the , provided the condition is realized. The cross section of production under the collision of a high-energy light neutrino beam with the proton target is investigated. The produced neutrino is identified through the decay channel . Detection of both the positive and negative charged muons will point to the Majorana nature of the neutrino. On the other hand, detection of the right-handed polarized muons will be unambiguously indicative of a nonzero value of .
