A search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons produced in B-meson decays and decaying to a μ±π∓ final state is performed with data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1. The results are interpreted in both lepton-number-conserving and lepton-number-violating scenarios. No significant excess is observed. Constraints are placed on the squared mixing element |UμN|2 to the active muon neutrino, under the assumption that couplings to other lepton flavours are negligible, in the mass range of 1.6–5.5 GeV.

Abstract
A search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons produced in B-meson decays and decaying to a μ±π∓ final state is performed with data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1. The results are interpreted in both lepton-number-conserving and lepton-number-violating scenarios. No significant excess is observed. Constraints are placed on the squared mixing element |UμN|2 to the active muon neutrino, under the assumption that couplings to other lepton flavours are negligible, in the mass range of 1.6–5.5 GeV.File in questo prodotto:
