Sterile neutrinos with masses in the range (1-100) GeV, have been searched for in a variety of experiments. Here, we discuss the prospects to search for sterile neutrinos at the LHC using displaced vertices. Two different cases are…

We consider a Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model scenario in which the only light superparticles are a bino-like dark matter candidate and a nearly-degenerate slepton. It is notoriously difficult to probe this scenario at the Large…

We study the sensitivity of displaced vertex searches at the LHC to heavy neutral leptons (also known as sterile neutrinos) that are produced in pairs with an electroweak-size cross section. We work within the context of a supersymmetric…

We show that, contrary to common expectations, the observed charged leptons can have a substantial mixing with new heavier fermions, at the level of 20$\%$. This can happen, in the language of effective theories, when the effect of mixing…

Neutrino masses may be generated by the VEV of an $SU(2)_L$ Higgs triplet. We assume that the doubly charged component of such a triplet has a mass in the range of several 100 GeV, such that it is accessible at LHC. Its decay into like-sign…

We explore long-lived particle (LLP) searches using non-pointing photons at the LHC as a probe for sterile-to-sterile and active-to-sterile transition magnetic dipole moments of sterile neutrinos. We consider heavy sterile neutrinos with…

In the framework of the Standard Model with lepton mixing the radiative decay $\nu_i \rightarrow \nu_j \gamma$ of a neutrino of high ($E_\nu \sim 100 \, GeV$) and super-high ($E_\nu \ge 1 \, TeV$) energy is investigated in the Coulomb field…

We examine two processes, the neutrino production process e^+e^- ---> N\nu and the inverse neutrinoless double-beta decay process e^-e^- --->W^-W^- as possible places for discovering heavy neutrinos in future lepton linear colliders. The…

We study the possibility of detecting New Physics (NP) phenomena at the LHC through a new search strategy looking at the monotop (top plus missing energy) signature which is common to a variety of NP models. We focus on the leptonic top…

TeV scale new Physics, e.g., Large Extra Dimensions or Models with anomalous triple vector boson couplings, can lead to excesses in various kinematic regions on the semi-leptonic productions of pp -> WW -> lvjj at the CERN LHC, which,…

The Standard Model is a successful theory but lack of a mechanism for neutrino mass generation as well as a solution to the naturalness problem. In the models that are proposed to simultaneously solve the two problems, heavy Majorana…

The neutrino masses ordering remains one of the most important open questions in neutrino physics. While upcoming oscillation experiments aim to resolve this problem at low energies, complementary approaches are highly desirable. In this…

A search for heavy neutrinos that are isosinglets under the standard $SU(2)_L$ gauge group is made at center-of-mass energies 130 $< \sqrt{s} <$ 189 GeV with the L3 detector at LEP. Such heavy neutrinos are expected in many extensions of…

Results are presented of a search for a heavy Majorana neutrino N$_\ell$ decaying into two same-flavor leptons $\ell$ (electrons or muons) and a quark-pair jet. A model is considered in which the N$_\ell$ is an excited neutrino in a…
