Description

Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) are theoretical particles predicted by Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, often introduced to explain phenomena such as neutrino masses and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. HNLs, particularly those of the Majorana type, can induce lepton number violating processes, making them a subject of great interest. This talk presents the HNL searches conducted within the ATLAS experiment, focusing specifically on the search for HNLs produced in the context of the process 𝑊𝑊 → ll in the t-channel.
