MASS LIMITS for Excited Neutrino (${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$)

Limits for Excited ${{\mathit \nu}}$ (${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$) from Single Production

INSPIRE   PDGID:
S054EXO
These limits are from ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$, ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$, or ${{\mathit e}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}{{\mathit X}}$ and depend on transition magnetic coupling between ${{\mathit \nu}}/{{\mathit e}}$ and ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$. Assumptions about ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ decay mode are given in footnotes.

1  AARON 2008 search for single ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ production in ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions with the decays ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit Z}}$, ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit W}}$. The quoted limit assumes $\mathit f$ = $−{{\mathit f}^{\,'}}$ = $\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$. See their Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 for the exclusion plots in the mass-coupling plane.
2  TUMASYAN 2023AL search for Majorana excited neutrino ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ produced and decaying via gauge and contact interactions. The limit quoted above is for ${{\mathit \ell}}$ = ${{\mathit e}}$ with $\Lambda $ = M$_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$. The limit becomes M$_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$ $>$ 6.1 TeV for ${{\mathit \ell}}$ = ${{\mathit \mu}}$.
3  ACHARD 2003B result is from ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit e}^{-}}$ collisions at $\sqrt {\mathit s }$ = $189 - 209$ GeV. The quoted limit is for ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}^{*}}$. ${{\mathit f}}$ = $\text{-}{{\mathit f}^{\,'}}$ = $\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$ is assumed. See their Fig.$~$4 for the exclusion plot in the mass-coupling plane.
4  ADLOFF 2002 search for single ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ production in ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions with the decays ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit Z}}$, ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit W}}$. The quoted limit assumes ${{\mathit f}}$ = $−{{\mathit f}^{\,'}}$ = $\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$. See their Fig.$~$1 for the exclusion plots in the mass-coupling plane.
5  CHEKANOV 2002D search for single ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ production in ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions with the decays ${{\mathit \nu}^{*}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit Z}}$, ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit W}}$. ${{\mathit f}}$ = $−{{\mathit f}^{\,'}}$ = $\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$ is assumed for the ${{\mathit e}^{*}}$ coupling. CHEKANOV 2002D also obtain limit for ${{\mathit f}}$ = ${{\mathit f}^{\,'}}$ = $\Lambda /{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}$: ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit \nu}^{*}}}>$135 GeV. See their Fig.$~$5c and Fig.$~$5d for the exclusion plot in the mass-coupling plane.
