Description

Small neutrino masses can be sourced by a tiny vacuum expectation value of a leptophilic Higgs doublet, and mediated by Quasi-Dirac heavy neutrinos. In such simplest linear seesaw picture the neutrino mass mediators can be accessible to colliders. We describe novel charged Higgs and heavy neutrino production mechanisms that can be sizeable at $e^-e^+$, $e^-\gamma$ and $\mu^-\mu^+$ colliders. and discuss some of the associated signatures. These may shed light on the Majorana nature of neutrinos and the significance of lepton number and lepton flavour non-conservation.
