Description
Heavy neutral leptons or massive sterile neutrinos are present in many well-motivated beyond the Standard Model theories, sometimes being accesible at present colliders. Our aim is to discuss the potential of the LHC to produce and discover this kind of new particles when their masses are in the GeV range. Moreover, and depending on their masses and couplings, they can be long-lived and lead to signatures with displaced vertices, or decay promptly within the detector.
