With very few exceptions, the large amount of available experimental bounds on heavy neutral leptons - HNL - have been derived relying on the assumption of the existence of a single (usually Majorana) sterile fermion state that mixes with only one lepton flavour. However, most of the extensions of the Standard Model involving sterile fermions predict the existence of several HNLs, with complex mixing patterns to all flavours. Consequently, most of the experimental bounds for HNLs need to be recast before being applied to a generic scenario. In this work, we focus on LHC searches of heavy neutral leptons and discuss how to reinterpret the available bounds when it comes to consider mixings to all active flavours, not only in the case with a single HNL, but also in the case when more heavy neutral leptons are involved. In the latter case, we also consider the possibility of interference effects and show how the bounds on the parameter space should be recast.

  1. Neutrino t-channels at Colliders: When Light Neutrinos Matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The same-sign WW→ℓℓ t-channel signal for heavy Majorana neutrinos is cancelled by light-neutrino contributions in the seesaw model; the opposite-sign eµjj channel is a better probe.

  2. Revealing Neutrino Mass Ordering at CEPC and FCC-ee

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the minimal two-HNL seesaw, heavy neutral lepton flavor mixings encode the normal vs inverted neutrino mass ordering, and CEPC/FCC-ee could distinguish them for total mixing U_tot^2 ≳ 10^-6.

  3. Taming flavour violation in the Inverse Seesaw

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New eta-based parametrisations of the ISS(3,3) show that Z-penguin flavour violation can reveal non-degenerate heavy sterile mixing even when radiative decays are absent.

  4. Low-scale seesaw with flavour and CP symmetries $\unicode{x2013}$ from colliders to leptogenesis

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For four flavour-symmetry cases, this paper maps heavy-neutrino lifetimes, decay flavour ratios, and the parameter space where leptogenesis works and colliders can test it.

  5. High-energy cLFV at $\mu$TRISTAN: HNL extensions of the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In HNL extensions of the Standard Model, mu+e- collisions at muTRISTAN could discover e-tau and mu-tau charged lepton flavour violation with sensitivity orders of magnitude beyond low-energy experiments and FCC-ee.

  6. Searches for heavy neutral lepton decays at spallation neutron sources

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Current and future COHERENT detectors at the SNS can set competitive limits on HNL–neutrino mixings through pion/muon DAR production and in-detector e+e− decays, with muon mixing offering the strongest near-term reach.
