LHC Search for Right-handed Neutrinos in $Z^prime$ Models


Abstract in English

We consider right-handed neutrino pair production in generic $Z^prime$ models. We propose a new, model-independent analysis using final states containing a pair of same-sign muons. A key aspect of this analysis is the reconstruction of the RH neutrino mass, which leads to a significantly improved sensitivity. Within the $U(1)_{(B-L)_{3}}$ model, we find that at the HL-LHC it will be possible to probe RH neutrino masses in the range $0.2lesssim M_{N_R} lesssim 1.1,$TeV.
