abstract

We study a new production mechanism for heavy neutrinos at the LHC, which dominates over the usually considered $s$-channel $W$-exchange diagram for heavy-neutrino masses larger than 100 - 200 GeV. The new mechanism is infrared-enhanced by $t$-channel $W\gamma$-fusion processes. This has important implications for experimental tests of the seesaw mechanism of neutrino masses, and in particular, for the ongoing heavy neutrino searches at the LHC. We find that the direct collider limits on the light-to-heavy neutrino mixing can be significantly improved, when this new production channel is properly taken into account. The scope of this new mechanism can equally well be extended to other exotic searches at the LHC.

  1. Dominant Thermal Resonant Mechanism for Low-Scale Leptogenesis

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Thermal Resonant Leptogenesis produces the observed baryon asymmetry via a dominant thermal channel from Higgs decays and lepton-doublet coherences, without requiring quasi-degenerate sterile neutrinos.

  2. Neutrino t-channels at Colliders: When Light Neutrinos Matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The same-sign WW→ℓℓ t-channel signal for heavy Majorana neutrinos is cancelled by light-neutrino contributions in the seesaw model; the opposite-sign eµjj channel is a better probe.

  3. Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos at muon-proton colliders via lepton-number-violating signals

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Vector Boson Fusion Signatures of Superheavy Majorana Neutrinos at Muon Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Right-handed neutrinos: seesaw models and signatures

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A pedagogical review that explains how adding right-handed neutrinos can generate small neutrino masses through seesaw mechanisms and what experimental signatures such models predict.
