abstract
A search for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs), the right-handed Dirac or Majorana neutrinos, is performed in final states with three charged leptons (electrons or muons) using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV at the CERN LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The HNLs could be produced through mixing with standard model neutrinos $\nu$. For small values of the HNL mass ($\lt$ 20 GeV) and the square of the HNL-$\nu$ mixing parameter (10$^{-7}$-10$^{-2}$), the decay length of these particles can be large enough so that the secondary vertex of the HNL decay can be resolved with the CMS silicon tracker. The selected final state consists of one lepton emerging from the primary proton-proton collision vertex, and two leptons forming a displaced, secondary vertex. No significant deviations from the standard model expectations are observed, and constraints are obtained on the HNL mass and coupling strength parameters, excluding previously unexplored regions of parameter space in the mass range 1-20 GeV and squared mixing parameter values as low as 10$^{-7}$.

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.

Dark Matter-Driven Low-Scale Leptogenesis via Neutrino Portal
A model with three right-handed neutrinos and a dark-matter portal generates the baryon asymmetry at a 2-TeV scale, but the benchmark used to match observations makes dark matter underabundant.

Constraining Heavy Neutral Leptons Coupled to the Tau-Neutrino Flavor at the Large Hadron Collider
DV searches with no prompt-lepton tag can probe HNLs with dominant tau-neutrino mixing at the LHC, improving existing bounds by more than an order of magnitude at Run 2 luminosity.

Complete Light Long-Lived Particles searches in Type-I 2HDM
In the Type-I 2HDM, light long-lived Higgs particles are forced into a narrow relation between mixing angle and tanβ, and FASER2 could probe the benchmark regions about a hundred times better than FASER.

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.

Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays of W bosons produced in 13 TeV pp collisions using prompt signatures in the ATLAS detector
The ATLAS search finds no evidence of heavy neutral leptons in W boson decays and sets the strongest limits to date on their mixing with electron and muon neutrinos in the 15-30 GeV mass range.
