Abstract
We report on a search for a heavy Majorana neutrino in the decays , , , . The results are obtained using the full data sample of collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy collider, which contains pairs. We observe no significant signal and set 95% CL upper limits on the couplings of the heavy right-handed neutrinos to the conventional standard model left-handed neutrinos in the mass range . This is the first study of a mixed couplings of heavy neutrinos to leptons and light-flavor leptons.
