Cosmological and astrophysical bounds on a heavy sterile neutrino and the KARMEN anomaly
read the original abstract
Constraints on the lifetime of the heavy sterile neutrino, that was proposed as a possible interpretation of the KARMEN anomaly, are derived from primordial nucleosynthesis and SN 1987A. Together with the recent experimental bounds on the nu_s lifetime, SN 1987A completely excludes this interpretation. Nucleosynthesis arguments permit a narrow window for the lifetime in the interval 0.1-0.2 sec. If nu_s possesses an anomalous interaction with nucleons, the SN bounds may not apply, while the nucleosynthesis ones would remain valid.

Heavy neutral leptons from light scalar in fixed target and forward search experiments
SHiP and FPF@FCC-hh are projected to extend experimental sensitivity to a light scalar mixing with the Higgs and to long-lived heavy neutrinos in a B-L seesaw model, with SHiP strongest for scalar masses around 0.5-1 GeV.

Forward Searches for Heavy Neutrinos and $Z'$ Bosons at FCC-hh
Projections indicate the FPF at FCC-hh can extend reach for light long-lived heavy neutrinos and Z' bosons in chiral U(1) models beyond existing experiments via meson decays and bremsstrahlung.
