Introduction
Neutrinos are massive, but active neutrino masses are tiny, < O(1) eV
The simplest mechanism is type-I seesaw.

Q. Is there a chance to “observe” the right-handed neutrino?
Ex.

Right-handed neutrino mass can be O(100) GeV,but, …..

Left-right neutrino mixing:
Ex.
Negligibly small to create the Majorana neutrino at the collider.

Q. Is it possible to make the left-right mixing large enough to detect the existence of the right-handed neutrino?
A. Yes, if generation structure is taken into account.

Same-sign di-electron is strongly constrainted by double beta decay :
Amplitude is proportional to . It can also controlled by a flavor symmetry.Same-sign di-electron can have a chance to be observed.

Several special cases:
Two-lighter right-handed neutrino masses are degenerate.
Double beta decay vanishes.
Double beta decay and μ e γ vanish.
Two right-handed neutrino masses are degenerate.Lepton number(-like) symmetry remains.

Summary1. We consider a convenient basis to describe
the non-negligible left-right neutrino mixing.
2. Tiny neutrino masses can be realized even ifthe left-right mixing is sizable.
3. The neutrino mass structure can be controlled by a flavor symmetry.
4. Same-sign di-electron events may be observed as well as di-muon events, satisfyingthe constraint of neutrino-less double beta decay.
