Lepton Number Violation: from $0\nu\beta\beta$ Decay to Long-Lived Particle Searches

2021 
We study the complementary tests of lepton number violation in $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay experiments, long-lived particle (LLP) searches at the LHC main detectors ATLAS/CMS, and a proposed far detector MATHUSLA. In the context of a simplified model with a scalar doublet $S$ and a Majorana fermion $F$, we show that while the $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay experiments can probe a larger portion of parameter space, the LLP searches can uniquely probe the region of smaller couplings and masses if $S$ is at TeV scale while $F$ is at or below the electroweak scale.
