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.

abstract
We study ultra-violet completions for operators in standard model effective field theory extended with right-handed neutrinos ($N_R$SMEFT). Using a diagrammatic method, we generate systematically lists of possible tree-level completions involving scalars, fermions or vectors for all operators at $d=6$ and $d=7$, which contain at least one right-handed neutrino. We compare our lists of possible UV models to the ones found for pure SMEFT. We also discuss how the observation of LNV processes via $N_R$SMEFT operators at the LHC can be related to Majorana neutrino masses of the standard model neutrinos.

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.
