abstract
The addition of $d=5$ operators to the Seesaw model leads to the Dimension-5 Seesaw Portal. Here, two new operators provide interactions for the heavy sterile neutrinos. In particular, the Higgs boson can have a large branching ratio into two heavy neutrinos, meaning that these states can be searched for at the LHC. Moreover, the heavy neutrinos can now decay dominantly into light neutrinos and photons. If the heavy neutrinos are long-lived, then searches for delayed, non-pointing photons can constrain the model. In this work, we carry out a detailed recast of an ATLAS search for such displaced photons, triggered by a charged lepton produced in association to the Higgs, placing bounds on the branching ratio for Higgs decay into two heavy neutrinos as low as 2%.

Direct constraints on the agnostic $\nu$SMEFT from heavy-neutrino searches at the LHC
A recast of CMS same-sign-dimuon data places the first direct bounds on the agnostic νSMEFT, excluding couplings below ~5.8×10⁻⁷ GeV⁻² at m_N≈1.5 TeV.

Heavy neutral leptons and top quarks in effective field theory
Long-lived heavy neutral leptons produced via top-quark effective operators could be probed at the HL-LHC up to new-physics scales around 12 TeV at ATLAS and 4.5 TeV at MATHUSLA or ANUBIS.
