Abstract

Abstract In this article we study the rare B-meson decay via two on-shell almost-degenerate Majorana Heavy Neutrinos, into two charged leptons and two pseudoscalar mesons ( $$B^{\pm } \rightarrow D^0 \ell ^{\pm }_1 \ell ^{\pm }_2 \pi ^{\mp }$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>B</mml:mi> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> </mml:msubsup> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> </mml:msubsup> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∓</mml:mo> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> ).
