abstract

A search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC is presented. Events are selected with a charged lepton originating from the primary vertex associated with the proton-proton interaction, as well as a second charged lepton and a hadronic jet associated with a secondary vertex that corresponds to the semileptonic decay of a long-lived HNL. No excess of events above the standard model expectation is observed. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are evaluated for HNLs that mix with electron and/or muon neutrinos. Limits are presented in the mass range of 1-16.5 GeV, with excluded square mixing parameter values reaching as low as 2 $\times$ 10$^{-7}$. For masses above 11 GeV, the presented limits exceed all previous results in the semileptonic decay channel, and for some of the considered scenarios are the strongest to date.

    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.

    hep-ph 2026-04 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Cylinder frame operators for Bernoulli Cantor measures converge in norm to a compact positive operator uniquely characterized by a first-level self-similar fixed-point identity and a scalar resolvent renormalization formula.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Displaced heavy-neutrino signals in LRSM and U(1)B−L remain accessible at the HL-LHC, with parton-level mass, lifetime, and AFB handles in low-background regions.

    hep-ex 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Analyzing 138 fb-1 of 13 TeV CMS data, the two searches observe no excess and set new upper limits on heavy neutral lepton mixing, including first tau-coupling coverage above the W mass.
