Probing the dipole portal to heavy neutral leptons via meson decays at the high-luminosity LHC

D Barducci, W Liu, A Titov, ZS Wang, Y Zhang - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We consider the dipole portal to sterile neutrinos, also called heavy neutral leptons (HNLs).
The dipole interaction with the photon leads to HNL production in meson decays as well as …
