abstract

We discuss the potential to observe lepton number violation (LNV) in displaced vertex searches for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) at future lepton colliders. Even though a direct detection of LNV is impossible for the dominant production channel because lepton number is carried away by an unobservable neutrino, there are several signatures of LNV that can be searched for. They include the angular distribution and spectrum of decay products as well as the HNL lifetime. We comment on the perspectives to observe LNV in realistic neutrino mass models and argue that the dichotomy of Dirac vs Majorana HNLs is in general not sufficient to effectively capture their phenomenology, but these extreme cases nevertheless represent well-defined benchmarks for experimental searches. Finally, we present accurate analytic estimates for the number of events and sensitivity regions during the $Z$-pole run for both Majorana and Dirac HNLs.

  1. Revealing Neutrino Mass Ordering at CEPC and FCC-ee

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the minimal two-HNL seesaw, heavy neutral lepton flavor mixings encode the normal vs inverted neutrino mass ordering, and CEPC/FCC-ee could distinguish them for total mixing U_tot^2 ≳ 10^-6.

  2. Low-scale seesaw with flavour and CP symmetries $\unicode{x2013}$ from colliders to leptogenesis

    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.

  3. High-energy cLFV at $\mu$TRISTAN: HNL extensions of the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In HNL extensions of the Standard Model, mu+e- collisions at muTRISTAN could discover e-tau and mu-tau charged lepton flavour violation with sensitivity orders of magnitude beyond low-energy experiments and FCC-ee.
