Majorana masses for neutrinos and neutron oscillations (Nbold-arrow-left-rightN) as tests of unification models with intermediate mass scales

Description

We discuss the Majorana character of the neutrino and neutronantinueutron oscillation as possible tests of unification models with intermediate mass scales. In particular, we stress that a value of m/sub nue/ few ev's, existence of neutrinoless double β-decay with life-time of the order of 1024 years and/or neutron oscillation with tau/sub NhyphenN/ 106-1010 sec. would constitute a clear signal for a left-right symmetric gauge structure with the scale of local B-L symmetry breaking in the Tev range
