Searching for Majorana Neutrinos in the Like-Sign Dilepton Final State at $\sqrt{s

The Standard Model can be extended to include massive neutrinos as observed in the recent oscillation experiments. Perhaps the most commonly studied model is the type-I seesaw mechanism. This model introduces a new neutrino with a Majorana nature and an unknown mass. In this study we conclude that t...

Sumario:The Standard Model can be extended to include massive neutrinos as observed in the recent oscillation experiments. Perhaps the most commonly studied model is the type-I seesaw mechanism. This model introduces a new neutrino with a Majorana nature and an unknown mass. In this study we conclude that the CMS detector has the potential to reach a discovery in a first year at 10 TeV startup collision energy, for a nominal integrated of 100 pb$^{-1}$, in a Majorana neutrino mass range near 100 \GeV.
