The neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model ($ u$2HDM) provides a natural way to generate tiny neutrino mass from interactions with the new doublet scalar $Phi_ u$ ($H^pm,~H,~A$) and singlet neutrinos $N_R$ of TeV scale. In this paper, we perform detailed simulations for the lepton number violating (LNV) signatures at LHC arising from cascade decays of the new scalars and neutrinos with the mass order $m_{N_R}<m_{Phi_ u}$. Under constraints from lepton flavor violating processes and direct collider searches, their decay properties are explored and lead to three types of LNV signatures: $2ell^pm 4j+cancel{E}_T$, $3ell^pm 4j+cancel{E}_T$, and $3ell^pmell^mp 4j$. We find that the same-sign trilepton signature $3ell^pm4j+cancel{E}_T$ is quite unique and is the most promising discovery channel at the high-luminosity LHC. Our analysis also yields the $95%$ C.L. exclusion limits in the plane of the $Phi_ u$ and $N_R$ masses at 13 (14) TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 100~(3000)/fb.

We investigate the search for heavy Majorana neutrinos stemming from a composite model scenario at the upcoming LHC Run II at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV. While previous studies of the composite Majorana neutrino were focussed on gauge interact
ions via magnetic type transition coupling between ordinary and heavy fermions (with mass $m^*$) here we complement the composite model with contact interactions at the energy scale $Lambda$ and we find that the production cross sections are dominated by such contact interactions by roughly two/three orders of magnitude. This mechanism provides therefore very interesting rates at the prospected luminosities. We study the same sign di-lepton and di-jet signature ($pp to ellell jj$) and perform a fast detector simulation based on Delphes. We compute 3$sigma$ and 5$sigma$ contour plots of the statistical significance in the parameter space ($Lambda,m^*$). We find that the potentially excluded regions at $sqrt{s} =13$ TeV are quite larger than those excluded so far at Run I considering searches with other signatures.
In this article we investigate the prospects of searching for sterile neutrinos in lowscale seesaw scenarios via the lepton flavour violating (but lepton number conserving) dilepton dijet signature. In our study, we focus on the final state $e^pm mu^
mp jj$ at the HL-LHC and the FCC-hh (or the SppC). We perform a multivariate analysis at the detector level including the dominant SM backgrounds from di-top, di-boson, and tri-boson. Under the assumption of the active-sterile neutrino mixings $|V_{ l N}|^2=|theta_e|^2=|theta_mu|^2$ and $|V_{ tau N}|^2 = |theta_tau|^2=0$, the sensitivities on the signal production cross section times branching ratio $sigma(p p to l^pm N)times {rm BR} (N to l^{ mp} jj)$ and on $|V_{ l N}|^2$ for sterile neutrino mass $M_N$ between 200 and 1000 GeV are derived. For the benchmark $M_N=500$ GeV, when ignoring systematic uncertainties at the HL-LHC (FCC-hh/SppC) with 3 (20) ${rm ab}^{-1}$ luminosity, the resulting 2-$sigma$ limits on $|V_{ l N}|^2$ are $4.9times 10^{-3}$ ($7.0times 10^{-5}$), while the 2 -$sigma$ limit on $sigma times {rm BR}$ are $4.4times10^{-2}$ ($1.6times10^{-2}$) fb, respectively. The effect of the systematic uncertainty is also studied and found to be important for sterile neutrinos with smaller masses. We also comment on searches with $tau^pm mu^mp jj$ and $tau^pm e^mp jj$ final states.
Some models of leptogenesis involve a nearly-degenerate pair of heavy Majorana neutrinos $N_{1,2}$ whose masses can be small, $O({rm GeV})$. There can be heavy-light neutrino mixing parametrized by $|B_{ell N}|^2 = 10^{-5}$, which leads to the rare l
epton-number-violating decay $W^pm to ell_1^pm ell_2^pm (q{bar q})^mp$. With contributions to this decay from both $N_1$ and $N_2$, a CP-violating rate difference between the decay and its CP-conjugate can be generated. In this talk, I describe the prospects for measuring such a CP asymmetry $A_{rm CP}$ at the LHC. I consider thre
We revisit the time evolution of the lepton family number for a SU(2) doublet consisting of a neutrino and a charged lepton. The lepton family number is defined through the weak basis of the SU(2) doublet, where the charged lepton mass matrix is real
and diagonal. The lepton family number carried by the neutrino is defined by the left-handed current of the neutrino family. For this work we assume the neutrinos have Majorana mass. This Majorana mass term is switched on at time $t=0$ and the lepton family number is evolved. Since the operator in the flavor eigenstate is continuously connected to that of the mass eigenstate, the creation and annihilation operators for the two eigenstates are related to each other. We compute the time evolution of all lepton family numbers by choosing a specific initial flavor eigenstate for a neutrino. The evolution is studied for relativistic and nonrelativistic neutrinos. The nonrelativistic region is of particular interest for the Cosmic Neutrino Background predicted from big bang models. In that region we find the lepton family numbers are sensitive to Majorana and Dirac phases, the absolute mass, and mass hierarchy of neutrinos.
Some models of leptogenesis involve a quasi-degenerate pair of heavy neutrinos $N_{1,2}$ whose masses can be small, $O({rm GeV})$. Such neutrinos can contribute to the rare lepton-number-violating (LNV) decay $W^pm to ell_1^pm ell_2^pm (q{bar q})^mp$
. If both $N_1$ and $N_2$ contribute, there can be a CP-violating rate difference between the LNV decay of a $W^-$ and its CP-conjugate decay. In this paper, we examine the prospects for measuring such a CP asymmetry $A_{rm CP}$ at the LHC. We assume a value for the heavy-light neutrino mixing parameter $|B_{ell N}|^2 = 10^{-5}$, which is allowed by the present experimental constraints, and consider $5~{rm GeV} le M_N le 80~{rm GeV}$.
