Displaced Heavy Neutral Lepton from New Higgs Doublet
Abstract
Heavy neutral leptons are introduced to explain the tiny neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. For proper small mixing parameter , the heavy neutral leptons become long-lived, which leads to the displaced vertex signature at colliders. In this paper, we consider the displaced heavy neutral lepton from the neutrinophilic Higgs doublet decay. The new Higgs doublet with MeV scale VEV can naturally explain the tiny neutrino masses with TeV scale . Different from current experimental searches via the decay, the new decays as are not suppressed by the small mixing parameter . Therefore, a larger parameter space is expected to be detected at colliders. We then investigate the promising region at the 14 TeV HL-LHC and the 3 TeV CLIC. According to our simulation, the DV signature could probe with , which covers the seesaw predicted value . We could probe GeV at the 14 TeV HL-LHC and GeV at the 3 TeV CLIC.
