Since a Majorana neutrino is its own antiparticle under $\mathrm{CPT}$, rather than $C$, an analysis of the $\mathrm{CPT}$ and $\mathrm{CP}$ characteristics of a Majorana particle is performed. The $\mathrm{CPT}$ transformation properties of a Majorana particle of arbitrary spin are obtained in a very simple way. Implications of these properties for the electromagnetic matrix elements of Majorana particles of spin \textonehalf{} are derived. Finally, the question of when different Majorana… Expand

Operatorial characterization of Majorana neutrinos
The Majorana neutrino $$\psi _{M}(x)$$ ψ M ( x ) when constructed as a superposition of chiral fermions such as $$\nu _{L} + C\overline{\nu _{L}}^{T}$$ ν L + C ν L ¯ T is characterized by $$… Expand
Phenomenology of neutron-antineutron conversion
We consider the possibility of neutron-antineutron ($n-\bar n$) conversion, in which the change of a neutron into an antineutron is mediated by an external source, as can occur in a scattering… Expand
Stellar energy loss rates beyond the standard model
It is known that the dipole moments of the neutrino lead to important astrophysical and cosmological effects. In this regard, within the context of a $$U(1)_\mathrm{B-L}$$ U ( 1 ) B - L model, we… Expand
Studies on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau-neutrino in pp collisions at the LHC
Abstract.Using the effective Lagrangians formalism, we study the radiative process $ pp\rightarrow (\gamma, Z) \rightarrow \nu_{\tau} \bar{\nu}_{\tau} \gamma +X$pp→(γ,Z)→ντν¯τγ+X in pp collisions at… Expand
Neutralino pair production and three body decays at e+ e- linear colliders as probes of CP violation in the neutralino system
In the CP-invariant supersymmetric theories, the steep S-wave (slow P-wave) rise of the cross section for any non-diagonal neutralino pair production in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation, $e^+e^- \to… Expand

TLDR
It is shown that under {ital CPT} invariance all the multipoles of the mass distribution are the same for a particle and its antiparticle and in a quantum theory of gravity the coupling of a particle to the graviton is in general different from that of its antiparticles. Expand
Interaction of Dirac and Majorana neutrinos with weak gravitational fields
In this paper the interaction of high energy neutrinos with weak gravitational fields is briefly explored. The form of the graviton-neutrino vertex is motivated from Lorentz and gauge invariance and… Expand
Cosmologically interesting neutrino decay in supersymmetry with broken R-parity
Abstract We show that in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with broken R -parity, for which the lepton number violating couplings induce neutrino masses and transition magnetic moments at one… Expand
Extensions ofSU(2)L×U(1) models and the form factors of the massive Dirac neutrinos
SummaryAfter the discovery of violation of parity andCP-conserving in weak interactions, many authors studied the interaction of a charged spin-1/2 particle with a weak electromagnetic field which… Expand
