The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The machinery is the Casas-Ibarra parametrisation, a complex orthogonal rotation $R$ that constructs the active-sterile mixing matrix $\Theta$ from the measured light-neutrino masses and PMNS matrix, with one-loop corrections, so every scanned point respects neutrino-oscillation data by construction. Around this, the analysis profiles a composite likelihood: direct searches enter as Poissonian or one-sided-Gaussian likelihoods calibrated to published confidence limits, indirect observables as Gaussian likelihoods, BBN as a lifetime cut, and the results are presented with a capped profile likelihood to separate exclusion from the excess regions. A differential-evolution scan over the 18-dimensional parameter space, with targeted scans saturating each experimental bound, supplies the sampled likelihood surface.
What would settle it
Recalculate the profile likelihood after replacing the simplified-likelihood recasting of the DELPHI and LHC searches with a detector-level simulation for benchmark mass–mixing points; if a point excluded at 95% here becomes allowed, the central claim fails. A future NA62 or SHiP observation inside a 95% excluded region would settle it directly.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper claims that the three-right-handed-neutrino (seesaw) parameter space below the TeV scale is now globally constrained in a statistically consistent way, and that the resulting 90% and 95% contours replace the overlay of individual exclusions. Because three heavy neutrinos allow symmetry-protected cancellations, the seesaw relation itself imposes almost no upper bound on the mixings; the bounds come from experiment: electron and muon mixings are set by fixed-target and collider searches, while tau mixing is limited mainly by electroweak precision and indirect observables. Below roughly 0.3 GeV, Big Bang nucleosynthesis demands that the total mixing $U_I^2$ be large enough for the heavy states to decay before nucleosynthesis, while oscillation data plus direct limits squeeze the flavour composition, forcing a minimum tau mixing. For the first time the flavour-mixing pattern of the three heavy neutrinos is mapped against the lightest active neutrino mass, showing that as $m_{\nu 0}$ drops below about 0.01 meV the allowed pattern tightens and reproduces the two-heavy-neutrino limit.
Load-bearing premise
The load-bearing premise is that each experiment's published limit can be converted into a simple count-based likelihood calibrated to that limit, including the simplified production assumptions of collider searches, with enough accuracy for the profiling.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Any future heavy-neutrino signal claimed in this mass range must lie inside the 95% allowed contours; points outside are excluded simultaneously by all data, not just by one experiment.
- The current best targets for next-generation searches are the high-mass region above 80 GeV, where couplings up to $10^{-2}$–$10^{-3}$ remain allowed, and the tau-mixing window near $0.3$–$0.5$ GeV.
- If the $2\sigma$ hints persist, more precise measurements of the $Z$ invisible width, of $V_{us}$, and of $R^e_\mu$ will sharpen a specific prediction: a heavy neutrino with $U^2_{\tau 1}\sim 10^{-3}$–$10^{-2}$.
- The recovery of the two-heavy-neutrino flavour pattern at very small lightest-neutrino mass means that flavour-ratio measurements could distinguish $n=3$ from $n=2$ scenarios without observing all three heavy states.
Reading between the lines
- Beyond the paper: the same dataset implies that if a discovery were made in the naive-seesaw 'forbidden' region, the most economical explanation would be an approximate $B-L$ symmetry rather than accidental tuning; the scan's symmetry-protected points show that region is populated.
- Beyond the paper: the three excesses ($\Gamma_{\rm inv}$, CKM, $R^e_\mu$) all arise from the same non-unitarity of the lepton mixing matrix, so they are not independent; a future measurement that moves one should move the inferred tau-mixing island coherently.
- Beyond the paper: a testable extension would be to rerun this global fit with the updated PIENU, ATLAS, and CMS results the authors note were released after their scans, and with detector-level recasting, to check whether the contours in the $0.1$–$0.3$ GeV and $>500$ GeV regions shift.
Editorial analysis
A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The paper presents a global frequentist analysis of the Standard Model extended by three right-handed Majorana neutrinos with masses between 60 MeV and 500 GeV, using the GAMBIT framework. The parameter space is scanned with the Casas-Ibarra parametrisation, and the authors combine likelihoods for active neutrino oscillations, electroweak precision observables, lepton flavour violation, lepton universality, CKM unitarity, neutrinoless double-beta decay, BBN, and a large set of direct search experiments. The results are presented as profile likelihood maps in the mass-mixing planes for electron, muon, and tau flavour couplings, cross-flavour products, and flavour-mixing triangles as a function of the lightest neutrino mass. The paper also identifies small (around 2 sigma) excesses driven by Gamma_inv, CKM, and R_K, and claims to provide the most comprehensive assessment of this model below the TeV scale so far.
Significance. If the results are correct, the profile likelihood maps in Figs. 1-7 and the flavour-mixing constraints in Figs. 11-13 constitute the most complete global constraints on the three-right-handed-neutrino model in this mass range. The analysis is a substantial technical effort: it uses an open-source framework, provides a new GAMBIT module, publishes the scan data on Zenodo, and explicitly combines many constraints that previous studies treated separately. The paper is commendably transparent about its approximations, including the use of approximate likelihoods calibrated to published limits, the absence of a full sampling-based goodness-of-fit test, and the reliance on Wilks' theorem for contour estimation. The Casas-Ibarra parametrisation builds in neutrino oscillation data as a modelling choice rather than as an external test, which is appropriate for a scan-oriented global fit. The main weakness is that some quantitative upper limits, especially for the tau coupling, rest on a small number of unvalidated recasting assumptions.
major comments (3)
- [Sec. 3.3.6, Figs. 3, 6, 7] The DELPHI tau-flavour limit is applied without quantifying the kinematic suppression from the tau mass below about 4 GeV. The paper itself states that the quoted bounds become weaker in this region, but it then uses the flavour-independent limit as-is for U_tau. Since DELPHI is the dominant direct constraint on U_tau for roughly 0.5-80 GeV, an overestimate of its sensitivity would directly shift the upper bounds on U_tau^2 in Fig. 3 and the cross-flavour products in Figs. 6 and 7. The authors should either implement a conservative tau-mass suppression factor, rerun the fit with a weakened DELPHI likelihood, or quantify the resulting shift in the quoted upper limits.
- [Sec. 4 and 5.1, Figs. 1-7] The 1 sigma and 2 sigma contours in the profile likelihood plots are estimated using Wilks' theorem with two degrees of freedom, but the likelihood is a composite of approximate Poisson and half-Gaussian likelihoods calibrated to published limits, and the contours are drawn on a capped likelihood. Wilks' theorem may be inaccurate for zero-event Poisson likelihoods, for parameters with physical boundaries at zero coupling, and for composite likelihoods that are not genuine likelihoods of the data. The authors do not provide any Monte Carlo validation or calibration of the profile likelihood ratio. Since the quantitative confidence levels are a central output of the paper, this approximation should be either validated or explicitly softened in the interpretation of the contours.
- [Sec. 3.2.6, Figs. 3 and 4] The BBN likelihood is implemented as a step function requiring each RHN lifetime to be less than 0.1 s, and this bound is applied over the whole scanned range, including m_nu0 values as low as 1e-7 eV. The paper acknowledges in Sec. 3.2.6 that the BBN bound can be weakened for m_nu0 below about 1e-3 eV because the RHNs may not thermalise. This could overstate the lower bounds on U_tau^2 shown in Fig. 3 and on U_I^2 in Fig. 4 for small m_nu0. The impact of this caveat on the plotted lower limits should be quantified, or the affected regions should be identified in the figures.
minor comments (6)
- [Abstract and Conclusions] The phrase 'three right-handed neutrinos model' appears twice and should read 'three right-handed neutrino model'.
- [Sec. 3.3.10] There is a typo: 'indculde' should be 'include'.
- [Sec. 6] There are typos: 'folliders' should be 'colliders' and 'measurments' should be 'measurements'.
- [Sec. 2.6] The text contains 'in strictive' which should be 'instructive'.
- [Sec. 1.2] The statement that the paper performs 'the first full frequentist analysis' is somewhat in tension with the later statement that no full sampling-based goodness-of-fit analysis is performed; rewording to 'first full frequentist profile-likelihood analysis' would be more precise.
- [Sec. 4.2, Table 6] The parameter denoted delta_M21 would be clearer as Delta M21, consistent with the text in Sec. A.1, to avoid confusion with the active neutrino mass splitting Delta m^2_21.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the global fit is driven by external experimental likelihoods, and the Casas-Ibarra parametrisation is a scanning coordinate, not a fitted prediction.
full rationale
The paper's central objects are profile-likelihood constraints on the RHN parameter space built from external experimental likelihoods (NuFIT, EWPO, LFV, lepton universality, CKM, 0νββ, BBN, and direct searches). The Casas-Ibarra parametrisation (Sec. 2.4, Eq. 29) is a reparametrisation of the seesaw relation that automatically satisfies active-neutrino oscillation data; using it as a scanning basis while also profiling against NuFIT likelihoods is a coordinate choice, not a derivation whose output equals its input. The direct-search likelihoods in Sec. 3.3 are explicitly calibrated to published limits ('the factor of proportionality is set to reproduce the results from the experimental papers'), but the paper does not present those limits as predictions; the new content is the simultaneous combination and the cross-constraint interplay (e.g., BBN lower bound plus e/µ direct upper bounds giving a lower bound on U^2_τI, Sec. 5.1), which is not identical to any single input. Self-citations such as Ref. [42] for the analytic lower bound U^2_I ≳ m_ν0/M_I and Refs. [27,188] for the n=2 flavour triangles are used as cross-checks or comparisons; they are not fitted inputs that determine the plotted contours. The approximation U_N=I is justified by a theorem in [42], but the paper argues the experimentally relevant quantities are sums U^2_α, so this is not load-bearing for the main constraints. The acknowledged DELPHI tau-mass caveat (Sec. 3.3.6) is a correctness and robustness concern, not a circularity. No step in the derivation reduces by construction to its own input.

The extension of the Standard Model by right-handed neutrinos can not only explain the active neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism, it is also able solve a number of long standing problems in cosmology. Especially, masses below the TeV scale are of particular interest as they can lead to a plethora of signatures in experimental searches. We present the first full frequentist analysis of the extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos, with masses between 60 MeV and 500 GeV, using the Global and Modular BSM (beyond the Standard Model) Inference Tool GAMBIT. Our analysis is based on the Casas-Ibarra parametrisation and includes a large range of experimental constraints: active neutrino mixing, indirect constraints from, e.g., electroweak precision observables and lepton universality, and numerous direct searches for right-handed neutrinos. To study their overall effect, we derive combined profile likelihood results for the phenomenologically most relevant parameter projections. Furthermore, we discuss the role of (marginally) statistically preferred regions in the parameter space. Finally, we explore the flavour mixing pattern of the three right-handed neutrinos for different values of the lightest neutrino mass. Our results comprise the most comprehensive assessment of the model with three right-handed neutrinos model below the TeV scale so far, and provide a robust ground for exploring the impact of future constraints or detections.
