Abstract: | We analyze possible lepton-flavor-violating decays of the Z0 particle in a minimal extension of the standard model, in which one right-handed neutral field for each family has been introduced. Such rare leptonic decays are induced by Majorana neutrinos at the first electroweak loop level and are generally not suppressed by the ordinary “see-saw” mechanism. In particular, we find that experimental bounds on branching ratios of the order of 10−5–10−6 attainable at LEP may impose constraints on lepton-flavor-mixing parameters and the masses of the heavy Majorana neutrinos. |
