Y. Katsuki et al., MAJORANA NEUTRINO VERSUS DIRAC NEUTRINO IN E(-)-]W+W- THROUGH RADIATIVE-CORRECTIONS()E(), Physics letters. Section B, 354(3-4), 1995, pp. 363-370
Radiative corrections to e(+)e(-) --> W+W- from Majorana neutrinos are
studied in the context of the see-saw mechanism. Focusing on the effe
cts of the fourth generation neutrinos, we calculate W-pair form facto
rs, the differential cross sections and the forward-backward asymmetri
es for the polarized electrons at one-loop level. The behaviour of the
form factors at the threshold of Majorana particle pair production is
found to differ from that of Dirac particle pair production. In the c
ross section for unpolarized electrons, the radiative corrections, dep
ending on the mass parameters of the see-saw mechanism, are found to b
e similar to 0.5% at the energy range of the LEP200 and the next gener
ation linear colliders.
