abstract
We review and revise phenomenology of the GeV-scale heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). We extend the previous analyses by including more channels of HNLs production and decay and provide with more refined treatment, including QCD corrections for the HNLs of masses $\mathcal{O}(1)$ GeV. We summarize the relevance of individual production and decay channels for different masses, resolving a few discrepancies in the literature. Our final results are directly suitable for sensitivity studies of particle physics experiments (ranging from proton beam-dump to the LHC) aiming at searches for heavy neutral leptons.

Neutrinos disintegrate into dark jets in a composite sterile sector, producing enhanced neutral-to-charged current ratios and displaced vertices that probe compositeness scales at facilities like DUNE and FCC-ee.
Damped oscillations alleviate LN violation suppression for pseudo-Dirac HNLs, improving collider sensitivities and allowing distinction from the double-Majorana limit.
Correlated HNL discovery at SHiP and flavor ratio shifts in astrophysical neutrinos at telescopes would establish neutrinos as Majorana fermions.
Cascade LLPs in SHiP suffer strong acceptance suppression, yielding at most moderate enhancement over primary production for light ALPs and subdominant contribution for HNLs from secondary kaons.
ANUBIS is projected to reach |V|^2 ~ 1.8-1.9e-8 for minimal Majorana HNLs at masses ~6.3-6.4 GeV coupling to e or mu.
