We revisit the possibility of Majorana neutrinos production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by studying the pp → l the angle between the final leptons, using a forward-backward like asymmetry to study the effects of the different gauge invariant operators. We also study the pp → l + i νγ process, which is dominant for low m N masses if tensorial one-loop generated new physics leading to a magnetic moment for the heavy neutrinos is present. This channel provides a powerful signal that could be observed at the LHC with the aid of non-pointing photons observables and cuts on the displacement between the prompt lepton and the photon in the final state.

Within the framework of physics beyond the standard model, we study the possibility that mesons produced in the atmosphere by the cosmic-ray flux decay to heavy Majorana neutrinos and the latter, in turn, decay mostly to photons in the low-mass region. We study the photon flux produced by sterile Majorana neutrinos (N) decaying after passing through a massive and opaque object such as a mountain. To model the production of N 's in the atmosphere and their decay to photons, we consider the interaction between the Majorana neutrinos and the standard matter as modeled by an effective theory. We then calculate the heavy neutrino flux originated by the decay of mesons in the atmosphere. The surviving photon flux, originated by N decays, is calculated using transport equations that include the effects of Majorana neutrino production and decay.

We study the effects produced by sterile Majorana neutrinos on the ν τ flux traversing the Earth, considering the interaction between the Majorana neutrinos and the standard matter as modeled by an effective theory. The surviving tau-neutrino flux is calculated using transport equations including Majorana neutrino production and decay. We compare our results with the pure Standard Model interactions, computing the surviving flux for different values of the effective lagrangian couplings, considering the detected flux by IceCube for an operation time of 10 years, and Majorana neutrinos with mass m N ∼ m τ .
