abstract
The first search exploiting the vector boson fusion process to probe heavy Majorana neutrinos and the Weinberg operator at the LHC is presented. The search is performed in the same-sign dimuon final state using a proton-proton collision data set recorded at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The results are found to agree with the predictions of the standard model. For heavy Majorana neutrinos, constraints on the squared mixing element between the muon and the heavy neutrino are derived in the heavy neutrino mass range 50 GeV-25 TeV; for masses above 650 GeV these are the most stringent constraints from searches at the LHC to date. A first test of the Weinberg operator at colliders provides an observed upper limit at 95% confidence level on the effective $\mu\mu$ Majorana neutrino mass of 10.8 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.

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.

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.

Vector Boson Fusion Signatures of Superheavy Majorana Neutrinos at Muon Colliders
Future muon colliders could probe heavy Majorana neutrino masses via t-channel vector boson fusion, with projected exclusions in the (mass, mixing) plane from cut-based and BDT analyses.
