Abstract

Heavy neutrino–antineutrino oscillations can appear in mechanisms of low-scale neutrino mass generation, where pairs of heavy neutrinos have almost degenerate masses. We discuss the case where the heavy neutrinos are sufficiently long-lived to decay displaced from the primary vertex, such that the oscillations of the heavy neutrinos into antineutrinos can potentially be observed at the (high-luminosity) LHC and at currently planned future collider experiments. The observation of these oscillations would allow to measure the mass splitting of the respective heavy neutrino pair, providing a deep insight into the nature of the neutrino mass generation mechanism.
