BSM physics and Heavy neutral lepton searches at FCC-ee

The origin of the neutrinos masses, baryon asymmetry in the universe, and the nature of dark matter remain fundamental open problems in HEP. The FCC-ee provides exciting opportunities to resolve these mysteries with the discovery of heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) via $e^+e^- \to Z \to \nu N$ by exploiting a huge sample ($8\times 10^{12}$) of Z bosons. The expected very small mixing between light and heavy neutrinos leads to tiny mixing angles, resulting in very long HNL lifetimes and a spectacular signal topology. Recent work based on a parametrised simulation of the IDEA detector will be described. The sensitivity region in the HNL parameter space will be mapped for prompt and long-lived signatures. A percent-level mass resolution can be achieved with inner-detector timing over large part of the HNL parameter space. Results of models with HNLs oscillations inside the detector will be also presented.

Abstract

The origin of the neutrinos masses, baryon asymmetry in the universe, and the nature of dark matter remain fundamental open problems in HEP. The FCC-ee provides exciting opportunities to resolve these mysteries with the discovery of heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) via $e^+e^- \to Z \to \nu N$ by exploiting a huge sample ($8\times 10^{12}$) of Z bosons. The expected very small mixing between light and heavy neutrinos leads to tiny mixing angles, resulting in very long HNL lifetimes and a spectacular signal topology. Recent work based on a parametrised simulation of the IDEA detector will be described. The sensitivity region in the HNL parameter space will be mapped for prompt and long-lived signatures. A percent-level mass resolution can be achieved with inner-detector timing over large part of the HNL parameter space. Results of models with HNLs oscillations inside the detector will be also presented.
