Dear colleagues,
This Wednesday, November 13, 15:00 UTC, we will have our next webinar.
Our guest will be Kuldeep Deka (NYUAD, UAE), who will discuss "Heavy Neutral Leptons without Prejudice".
Abstract:
We analyze prominent signatures in Higgs physics at colliders (LHC and
FCC-ee) that arise when the Standard Model (SM) is extended by a Yukawa
interaction with heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). This setup assumes no
direct mapping between the Yukawa coupling and mixing with active
neutrinos. At the LHC, we investigate HNL production through Higgs
bosons, followed by decays through Higgs or gauge bosons into SM
fermions, to assess the experimental reach at both primary detectors and
far detectors like FASER and MATHUSLA. At the FCC-ee, we study HNL
production from both Z and Higgs bosons at various center-of-mass
energies to evaluate sensitivity limits. Additionally, we explore how
precision Higgs measurements constrain beyond-the-SM parameters in the
limit of zero neutrino mixing.
