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

Understand

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 $0.2\lesssim M_{N_R} \lesssim 1.1\,$TeV.
