Abstract
The Majorana nature of neutrinos may only be experimentally verified via lepton-number violating processes involving charged leptons. We explore the like-sign dilepton production at hadron colliders to search for signals of Majorana neutrinos. We find significant sensitivity for resonant production of a Majorana neutrino in the mass range of 10–80 GeV at the current run of the Tevatron with integrated luminosity and in the range of 10–400 GeV at the CERN LHC with .
