SUMMARY:Practical Dirac-Majorana Confusion Theorem: Issues and Applica
 bility\, Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, C S Kim\, Yonsei U.
DESCRIPTION:We inspect the model-independent study of practical Dirac 
 Majorana confusion theorem (pDMCT) -- a wide spread belief that the di
 fference between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos via any kinematical obse
 rvable would be practically impossible to determine because of the dif
 ference only being proportional to the square of neutrino mass -- in c
 ontext of processes that have at least a neutrino antineutrino pair in
  their final state. We scrutinize the domain of applicability of pDMCT
  and also highlight those aspects that are often misunderstood. We try
  to clarify some of the frequently used concepts that are used to asse
 rt pDMCT as a generic feature irrespective of the process\, or observa
 ble\, such as the existence of any analytic continuity between Dirac a
 nd Majorana neutrinos in the limit mass(neutrino) -> 0. In summary\, w
 e illustrate that pDMCT is not any fundamental property of neutrinos\,
  instead\, it is a phenomenological feature of neutrino non-observatio
 n\, depending on models and processes.
