Description
Neutrinos are the most elusive particles known. Heavier sterile neutrinos mixing with the Standard Model partners might solve the mystery of the baryon asymmetry of the universe and take part in the mass generation mechanism for the light neutrinos. From this perspective, if the heavy neutrinos are detected, it is crucial to determine their coupling structure. Future lepton colliders would not only offer excellent discovery reach but also allow for distinguishing between the Dirac and Majorana natures of these particles. In the talk, we will present a method to efficiently discriminate between the two neutrino species, based on the kinematics of their decays.
