Abstract

We re-analyze the results of the searches for Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) by the CHARM experiment. We study HNL decay channel $N\to e^{+}e^{-}\nu/\mu^{+}\mu^{-}\nu$ and show that, in addition to the constraints on the HNL's mixings with $\nu_e$ or $\nu_{\mu}$, the same data also implies limits on the HNLs that mix only with $\nu_{\tau}$ and have masses in the range $380 \text{ MeV}<m_{N}\lesssim 1.6\text{ GeV}$ - the region in the parameter space that was considered in the literature as a target for HNLs searches.<br />Comment: Journal version
