Constraints on fourth generation Majorana neutrinos — •Dario Schalla1, Heinrich Päs1, and Alexander Lenz2 — 1Department of Physics, TU Dortmund, D-44221 Dortmund, Germany — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany
We investigate the possibility of a fourth sequential generation in the lepton sector. Assuming neutrinos to be Majorana particles and starting from a recent - albeit weak - evidence for a non-zero admixture of a fourth generation neutrino from fits to weak lepton and meson decays we discuss constraints from neutrinoless double beta decay, radiative lepton decay and like-sign dilepton production at hadron colliders.
