Description

It has been shown that heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) can explain many phenomena seen in Nature such as the neutrino oscillation data, dark matter and the baryon asymmetry. Therefore, alot of theoretical and experimental effort has been put into this subject. I will discuss the parameter space reach of future experiments searching for HNLs at the GeV scale in terms of neutrino mass models with three HNL generations. I will focus on two classes of models: Generic assumptions and flavor symmetry-generated models.
