The non-unitarity of the effective leptonic mixing matrix at low energies is a generic signal of extensions of the Standard Model (SM) with extra fermionic singlet particles, i.e. sterile or right-handed neutrinos, to account for the observed neutrino masses. The low energy effects of such extensions can be described in a model-independent way by the Minimal Unitarity Violation (MUV) scheme, an effective field theory extension of the SM. We perform a global fit of the MUV scheme parameters to the present experimental data, which yields the up-to-date constraints on leptonic non-unitarity. Furthermore, we investigate the sensitivities and discovery prospects of future experiments. In particular, FCC-ee/TLEP would be a powerful probe of flavour-conserving non-unitarity for singlet masses up to ~ 60 TeV. Regarding flavour-violating non-unitarity, future experiments on muon-to-electron conversion in nuclei could even probe extensions with singlet masses up to ~ 0.3 PeV.

  1. Probing Neutrino Compositeness with Invisible and Displaced Signals

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Neutrinos disintegrate into dark jets in a composite sterile sector, producing enhanced neutral-to-charged current ratios and displaced vertices that probe compositeness scales at facilities like DUNE and FCC-ee.

  2. Neutrino mass and leptogenesis in the non-SUSY modular $A^\prime_5$ inverse seesaw model

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Three non-SUSY A5-prime modular inverse-seesaw models fit neutrino oscillation data and can generate the observed baryon asymmetry via TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis.

  3. Electron-muon colliders at high energies to discover heavy sterile neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Calculations of cLFV cross sections in eμ scattering show the e−μ+ → W+W− channel at √s > 2MW offers better prospects for detecting heavy sterile neutrinos than the quartically suppressed e−μ+ → e+μ− process.

  4. Sharpening New Physics Searches in Neutrino Oscillations with DUNE-PRISM

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    PRISM multi-angle measurements in DUNE restore sensitivity to non-unitarity and sterile neutrinos in electron and muon sectors to levels achievable with small spectral uncertainties, with only marginal gains for tau n...

  5. Testing the unitarity of the light neutrino mixing matrix

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0

    PMNS non-unitarity would make W+W- production cross sections grow anomalously with energy; LEP data already bound δ_e ≲ 0.0135 and future colliders could reach ~10^-5.

  6. Neutrino oscillation data and a pseudo-Dirac heavy neutral lepton

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In the minimal pseudo-Dirac HNL scenario, light-neutrino oscillation data fixes an ellipse in the active flavour simplex for leading active-heavy interactions via a single complex amplitude and Majorana phase.

  7. Probing Dynamical Inverse Seesaw with Low-frequency Gravitational Waves

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Dynamical inverse seesaw predicts low-frequency stochastic GW signals from a first-order phase transition, with complementarity to heavy neutral lepton searches at small active-sterile mixing.
