Abstract

Given the eventuality of neutrino and muon factories in the foreseeable future, all possible 2-to-2 processes involving two neutrinos, whether Dirac or Majorana ones, and two charged fermions are considered on the basis of the most general Lorentz invariant four-fermion effective interaction possible, in the limit of massless particles. Such a parametrization should enable the assessment of the sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model, including the eventual discrimination between the Dirac or Majorana character of neutrinos, of specific experimental beam and detector designs.
