Abstract

We discuss the potential of using detectors aimed for searching long-lived particles~(LLP) at the high-luminosity LHC run, to probe the neutrino dipole models. This is achieved by taking the heavy neutral leptons~(HNL) of the models as candidates of the LLPs. Taking into account the dipole couplings to the weak bosons, dW,Zd_{W,Z}, which control the production of the HNLs at the LHC, we discuss the reach on the electromagnetic dipole couplings, dγd_\gamma, by searching for a single high-energy photon at LLP detectors. Four typical scenarios are considered in this paper, scenario A, B with dW=0d_{W}=0 or dZ=0d_{Z}=0, and scenario C, D with dW,Zdγd_{W,Z}\gg d_\gamma. We show the sensitivity on dγd_\gamma, can be fairly different depending on the relations between the dW,Zd_{W,Z} and dγd_\gamma. And the LLP detectors can potentially extend the sensitivity on dipole couplings during the High-luminosity runs of the LHC in certain scenarios.
