Abstract

We report on a search for a heavy Majorana neutrino in the decays τ-→π-νh, νh→π± =e, μ. The results are obtained using the full data sample of 988 fb-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider, which contains 912×106 ττ pairs. We observe no significant signal and set 95% CL upper limits on the couplings of the heavy right-handed neutrinos to the conventional standard model left-handed neutrinos in the mass range 0.2-1.6 GeV/c2. This is the first study of a mixed couplings of heavy neutrinos to τ leptons and light-flavor leptons.

The results are obtained using the full data sample of 988 fb-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider, which contains 912×106 ττ pairs. We observe no significant signal and set 95% CL upper limits on the couplings of the heavy right-handed neutrinos to the conventional standard model left-handed neutrinos in the mass range 0.2-1.6 GeV/c2. This is the first study of a mixed couplings of heavy neutrinos to τ leptons and light-flavor leptons.
