Search for heavy neutral leptons using tau lepton decays at<i> BABAR</i>.
PHYSICAL REVIEW D, 107 (5).

Abstract
This article presents a model-independent search for an additional, mostly sterile, heavy neutral lepton (HNL), that is capable of mixing with the Standard Model τ neutrino with a mixing strength of |Uτ4|2, corresponding to the absolute square of the extended Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix element. Data from the BABAR experiment, with a total integrated luminosity of 424 fb-1, are analyzed using a kinematic approach that makes no assumptions on the model behind the origins of the HNL, its lifetime or decay modes. No significant signal is found. Upper limits on |Uτ4|2 at the 95% confidence level, depend on the HNL mass hypothesis and vary from 2.31×10-2 to 5.04×10-6 (with all uncertainties considered), across the mass range 100<m4<1300 MeV/c2; the more stringent limits being placed at higher masses.
