We study the phenomenology of heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) at the LHC in effective field theory, concentrating on $d=6$ operators with top quarks. Depending on the operator choice and HNL mass, the HNLs will be produced either from…

Heavy neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale can simultaneously generate the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. The requirement to explain these phenomena…

Leptogenesis, i.e. the creation of a lepton asymmetry in the early Universe, may occur through the decay of heavy singlet (right-handed) neutrinos. If we require it not to be erased by physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV energy…

Heavy Neutral Leptons are naturally present in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. If their mass is of few dozens of GeVs, they can be long-lived and lead to events with displaced vertices, giving rise to promising…
