Content
We discuss a new production mechanism for heavy neutrinos at the LHC, which is infrared-enhanced by t-channel W-photon fusion processes, and dominates over the usually considered s-channel W-exchange
diagram for heavy-neutrino masses larger than 100-200 GeV. This has important implications for the ongoing heavy neutrino searches at the LHC, complementary to their low-energy Lepton Flavor Violation searches. The scope of this new mechanism can as well be extended to other exotic searches at the LHC.
