Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays of W bosons using leptonic and semi-leptonic displaced vertices in center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV p p collisions with the ATLAS detector — •Marzieh Bahmani — Humboldt university, Berlin, Germany

In this talk, I will present a search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs), which are produced through the decay of a W-boson into a muon or electron and an HNL. We investigate two distinct decay channels: a leptonic channel, where the HNL decays into two leptons and a neutrino, and a semi-leptonic channel, where the HNL decays into a lepton and a charged pion. This search is based on 140 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data in center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC. I will discuss the results within the context of both single-flavor and multi-flavor mixing scenarios and their implications for future searches in this exciting area of particle physics.
