Sterile neutrino searches at future electron-positron, proton-proton, and electron-proton colliders — Stefan Antusch1,2, •Eros Cazzato1, and Oliver Fischer1 — 1Department of Physics, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 82, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland — 2Max-Planck-Institut Für Physik (Werner-Heisenberg-Institut), Föhringer Ring 6, D-80805 München, Germany
Sterile neutrinos are among the most attractive extensions of the SM to generate the light neutrino masses observed in neutrino oscillation experiments. When the sterile neutrinos are subject to a protective symmetry, they can have Majorana masses around the electroweak scale and potentially large neutrino Yukawa couplings, which makes them testable at the planned Future Circular Colliders. In this talk I outline a systematic assessment of the signatures for sterile neutrino searches at electron-positron, proton-proton and electron-proton colliders. I present preliminary results on foreseeable sensitivities of the most promising signatures and compare the performance of the different collider types.
