Long-lived charged particles and multi-lepton signatures from neutrino mass models

Abstract

Lepton number violation (LNV) is usually searched for by the LHC collaborations using the same-sign di-lepton plus jet signature. In this paper we discuss multi-lepton signals of LNV that can arise with experimentally interesting rates in certain loop models of neutrino mass generation. Interestingly, in such models the observed smallness of the active neutrino masses, together with the high-multiplicity of the final states, leads in large parts of the viable parameter space of such models to the prediction of long-lived charged particles, that leave highly ionizing tracks in the detectors. We focus on one particular 1-loop neutrino mass model in this class and discuss its LHC phenomenology in some detail.
