Description
The smallness of neutrino masses, which together with neutrino oscillations could be pointing to physics beyond the standard model, can be naturally accommodated by the so-called “seesaw” mechanism, in which new Heavy Neutral majorana Leptons (HNL) are postulated. A model providing HNLs that incorporates the seesaw mechanism, while also providing a DM candidate and giving a possible explanation for the baryon asymmetry, is the neutrino minimal standard model (νMSM). This talk presents searches for HNLs in CMS using the full Run-II data-set collected at the LHC.
