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.

Dominant Thermal Resonant Mechanism for Low-Scale Leptogenesis
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.

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

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.

Heavy Neutral Leptons without Prejudice
HL-LHC and FCC-ee can probe HNL Yukawa couplings down to y^2 near 10^-4 to 10^-6 depending on mass; at zero mixing, Higgs width precision is the strongest constraint and the two colliders have comparable reach.

Sensitivity of Lepton Number Violating Meson Decays in Different Experiments
For 0.14 to 6 GeV heavy neutrinos, accounting for the parent meson's velocity weakens projected LNV meson decay sensitivities by one to two orders of magnitude at NA62 and SHiP.

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.
