abstract
We present an updated and improved global fit analysis of current flavor and electroweak precision observables to derive bounds on unitarity deviations of the leptonic mixing matrix and on the mixing of heavy neutrinos with the active flavours. This new analysis is motivated by new and updated experimental results on key observables such as $V_{ud}$, the invisible decay width of the $Z$ boson and the $W$ boson mass. It also improves upon previous studies by considering the full correlations among the different observables and explicitly calibrating the test statistic, which may present significant deviations from a $\chi^2$ distribution. The results are provided for three different Type-I seesaw scenarios: the minimal scenario with only two additional right-handed neutrinos, the next to minimal one with three extra neutrinos, and the most general one with an arbitrary number of heavy neutrinos that we parametrize via a generic deviation from a unitary leptonic mixing matrix. Additionally, we also analyze the case of generic deviations from unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix, not necessarily induced by the presence of additional neutrinos. This last case relaxes some correlations among the parameters and is able to provide a better fit to the data. Nevertheless, inducing only leptonic unitarity deviations avoiding both the correlations implied by the right-handed neutrino extension as well as more strongly constrained operators is challenging and would imply significantly more complex UV completions.

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.

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.

Towards a detection of reactor $\overline{\nu}^{}_e \to \overline{\nu}^{}_\mu$ and $\overline{\nu}^{}_e \to \overline{\nu}^{}_\tau$ oscillations with possible CP violation
A proof-of-concept study shows that elastic antineutrino-electron scattering at JUNO could in principle detect reactor appearance and probe CP violation, but the CP signal is tiny.

Probing non-unitarity of the PMNS matrix in P2SO and comparison with DUNE
Projected GLoBES sensitivities show DUNE constrains the non-unitarity parameters α11 and |α21| better, while P2SO wins on α33 (and marginally α22); non-unitarity also distorts mass-hierarchy, octant, and CP-violation ...

Insights on the Scale of Leptogenesis from Neutrino Masses and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
In hierarchical seesaw leptogenesis, the required lightest heavy-neutrino mass sits between about 10^8 and 10^10 GeV for typical fine-tuning and can fall to 10^6 GeV with strong fine-tuning, as a function of the light...
