Majoron

|
In particle physics, majorons are a type of Goldstone boson that theoretically mediates the neutrino mass violation of lepton number in certain high energy collisions such as
- <math>e^-e^- \rightarrow W^-W^-J \,<math>
Where two electrons collide to form two W bosons and the majoron J. Majorons were originally formulated in four dimensions but are now being applied in supersymmetric theories involving extra compactified dimensions. By propagating through the extra spatial dimensions the detectable number of majoron creation events vary accordingly. Mathematically, majorons may be modeled by allowing them to propagate through a material while all other Standard Model forces are fixed to an orbifold point.
