Examples are diagrams with diquarks, leptoquarks or charged scalars. Here, we compare the LNV discovery potentials of the LHC and 0 nu beta beta-decay experiments, resorting to three example models, which cover the range of the optimistic-pessimistic cases for 0 nu beta beta decay. We use the LHC constraints from dijet as well as leptoquark searches and find that already with 20/fb the LHC will test interesting parts of the parameter space of these models, not excluded by the current limits on 0 nu beta beta-decay.", optnote="WOS:000399774600001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3060), last updated on Thu, 11 May 2017 16:18:28 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP12(2016)130", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.09555", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP12(2016)130", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1606.09555", language="English" }
