Current Work
The main instrument for these tasks is the LHCb detector at CERN, where the analyses of the data collected in the LHC proton-proton collisions are ongoing. We are also conducting searches for heavy neutral leptons with the CMS experiment at CERN in the context of the ERC Starting grant "MajorNet", ID 758316. At the same time, the R&D activities for future facilities and experiments which exploit complementary strategies are taking place. In particular, we contribute to the operation of the SND@LHC detector, to the R&D for the fixed target program with the SHiP detector to be built at the CERN beam-dump facility at the SPS, and to the R&D for the Future Circular Collider at CERN.
