A search for neutral heavy leptons (NHLs) has been performed using an instrumented decay channel at the NuTeV (E-815) experiment at Fermilab. The decay channel was composed of helium bags interspersed with drift chambers, and was used in conjunction with the NuTeV neutrino detector to search for NHL decays. The data were examined for NHLs decaying into muonic final states (mu mu nu, mu e nu, mu pi, and mu rho); no evidence has been found for NHLs in the 0.25 - 2.0 GeV mass range. This analysis places limits on the mixing of NHLs with standard light neutrinos at a level up to an order of magnitude more restrictive than previous search limits in this mass range.

  1. A frequentist analysis of three right-handed neutrinos with GAMBIT

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A comprehensive frequentist global fit maps the currently allowed mass and mixing space for three right-handed neutrinos between 60 MeV and 500 GeV and finds no significant new physics.

  2. Archimedean Seesaw: Small Neutrino Masses and Large Lepton-number Violation

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A texture-zero seesaw model allows large lepton-number violation together with naturally small neutrino masses by protecting the light neutrino with an accidental symmetry.

  3. Searches for heavy neutral lepton decays at spallation neutron sources

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Current and future COHERENT detectors at the SNS can set competitive limits on HNL–neutrino mixings through pion/muon DAR production and in-detector e+e− decays, with muon mixing offering the strongest near-term reach.

  4. Sensitivity of Lepton Number Violating Meson Decays in Different Experiments

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
