Abstract

We consider the minimal see-saw extension of the Standard Model with two right-handed singlet fermions N1,2N_{1,2} with mass at the GeV scale, augmented by an effective dipole operator between the sterile states. We firstly review current bounds on this effective interaction from fixed-target and collider experiments as well as from astrophysical and cosmological observations. We then highlight the prospects for testing the decay N2N1γN_2 \to N_1 \gamma induced by the dipole at future facilities targeting long lived particles such as ANUBIS, CODEX-b, FACET, FASER 2, MAPP and SHiP.
