Abstract: In the Standard Model (SM), lepton number L is conserved in low-energy collisions and decays [1] and the lepton flavor numbers for the three lepton families are conserved if neutrinos are massless. The observation of neutrino oscillations [2] indicates that neutrinos have mass. If the neutrinos are of the Majorana type [3], the neutrino and antineutrino are the same particle, and processes that involve lepton-number violation become possible.
