Description
In $U(1)_R$ extensions of supersymmetric models, the bino and its Dirac partner, the singlino, can play the role of right-handed neutrinos. The bino and the singlino form a pseudo-dirac pair, dubbed the `bi$\nu$o', which can generate Standard Model neutrino masses via the inverse seesaw mechanism. We investigate the prospects for detecting long-lived bi$\nu$os at SHiP, where GeV scale bi$\nu$os can be copiously produced in the decays of mesons. We show that SHiP can probe new regions of parameter space that are complementary to searches for the lepton flavor-violating decay $\mu \to e \gamma$. This scenario provides a well-motivated benchmark for future experiments of a right-handed neutrino that mixes with all Standard Model neutrinos, and is directly related to the generation of neutrino masses.
