Abstract: We will explain why the question of whether neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac particles is particularly interesting, and why it is so hard to answer. We will then show that if a heavy neutrino should be discovered at a high-energy collider, a meson factory, or a neutrino beam facility, the study of the decays of this neutrino could rather readily answer the question.
