abstract
The problems of neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and dark matter could be successfully addressed by postulating right-handed neutrinos with Majorana masses below the electroweak scale. In this work, leptonic decays of $W$ bosons extracted from 32.9 fb$^{-1}$ to 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC are used to search for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) that are produced through mixing with muon or electron neutrinos. The search is conducted using the ATLAS detector in both prompt and displaced leptonic decay signatures. The prompt signature requires three leptons produced at the interaction point (either $\mu\mu e$ or $e e\mu$) with a veto on same-flavour opposite-charge topologies. The displaced signature comprises a prompt muon from the $W$ boson decay and the requirement of a dilepton vertex (either $\mu\mu$ or $\mu e$) displaced in the transverse plane by 4-300 mm from the interaction point. The search sets constraints on the HNL mixing to muon and electron neutrinos for HNL masses in the range 4.5-50 GeV.

Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in vector boson scattering with $\tau$-lepton final states with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS finds no evidence for heavy Majorana neutrinos in same-sign tau-lepton final states and sets new 95% CL upper limits on |V_τN|², reaching 0.30 at m_N = 900 GeV and extending to m_N = 6.5 TeV.

Dark Matter-Driven Low-Scale Leptogenesis via Neutrino Portal
A model with three right-handed neutrinos and a dark-matter portal generates the baryon asymmetry at a 2-TeV scale, but the benchmark used to match observations makes dark matter underabundant.

Constraining Heavy Neutral Leptons Coupled to the Tau-Neutrino Flavor at the Large Hadron Collider
DV searches with no prompt-lepton tag can probe HNLs with dominant tau-neutrino mixing at the LHC, improving existing bounds by more than an order of magnitude at Run 2 luminosity.

Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos at muon-proton colliders via lepton-number-violating signals
Simulates LNV signals from heavy Majorana neutrinos (200-3000 GeV) at a 5.3 TeV μp collider and projects 2σ limits on |V_ℓN|² superior to LHC bounds for 100 fb⁻¹ and 1 ab⁻¹ luminosities.

Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays of W bosons produced in 13 TeV pp collisions using prompt signatures in the ATLAS detector
The ATLAS search finds no evidence of heavy neutral leptons in W boson decays and sets the strongest limits to date on their mixing with electron and muon neutrinos in the 15-30 GeV mass range.
