SEMILEPTONIC LEPTON-NUMBER/FLAVOUR-VIOLATING tau DECAYS IN MAJORANA NEUTRINO MODELS (1995)
Ilakovac, Amon, Kniehl, Bernd A., Pilaftsis, Apostolos
Motivated by the recent investigation of neutrinoless $\tau$-lepton decays by the CLEO collaboration, we perform a systematic analysis of such decays in a possible new-physics scenario with heavy...
SLC/LEP CONSTRAINTS ON UNIFIED MODELS (1995)
We examine the potential of constraining possible nondecoupling effects of heavy neutrinos and Higgs bosons at LEP and SLC that may show up in the nonoblique part of the $Zl_il_j$ couplings. We...
CONFRONTING LEFT-RIGHT SYMMETRIC MODELS WITH ELECTROWEAK PRECISION DATA AT THE Z PEAK (1995)
In view of the recent and future electroweak precision data accumulated at LEP and SLC, we systematically analyze possible new physics effects that may occur in the leptonic sector within the context...
Signatures of Higgs-Triplet Representations at Tev--e+e- Colliders (1994)
Cheung, Kingman, Phillips, Roger J. N., Pilaftsis, Apostolos
We investigate the potential of future TeV linear e^+e^- colliders to observe singly-charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$) via the coupling $H^\pm W^\mp Z$, which would signal the existence of exotic Higgs...
Heavy-Neutrino Effects on tau-Lepton Decays (1994)
Minimal extensions of the Standard Model that are motivated by grand unified theories or superstring models with an E_6 symmetry can naturally predict heavy neutrinos of Dirac or Majorana nature....
Astrophysical and Terrestrial Constraints on Singlet Majoron Models (1993)
The general Lagrangian containing the couplings of the Higgs scalars to Majorana neutrinos is presented in the context of singlet Majoron models with intergenerational mixings. The analytical...
