Adding masses to the Standard model neutrino 'simply' by adding a Dirac mass term (Yukawa coupling) implies adding a right-handed neutrino (new particle) No SM symmetry prevents adding then a term like and this simply means that a neutrino turns into a antineutrino (the charge conjugate of a right handed antineutrino is a left handed neutrino!)

Comment/Outlook for FCC-hh We have seen that the Z factory offers a clean method for detection of Heavy Right-Handed neutrinos Ws are less abundant at the lepton colliders At the 100 TeV hadron machine the W is the dominant particle. There is a lot of /pile-up/backgrounds/lifetime/trigger issues which need to be investigated. BUT.... in the regime of long lived HNLs the simultaneous presence of -- the initial lepton from W decays -- the detached vertex with kinematically constrained decay allows for a significant background reduction. But it allows also a characterization both in flavour and charge of the produced neutrino, thus information of the flavour sensitive mixing angles and a test of the fermion violating nature of the intermediate (Majorana) particle. VERY interesting... 19.09.2018
Conclusions 1. H, Z factory will investigate invisible widths with exp precision of < 0.15% (Higgs) and < 0.0004 2. The direct quest for the «Right-Handed-Almost-Sterile-See-saw-partners neutrinos» (dextrinos? RHASnus? Heavy Neutral Leptons? Shaposhninos? heavinos?) is not desperate at all for Majorana mass at weak scale. In particular it may lead to spectacular ‘detached vertex’ signatures in a beam dump experiment (SHIP) or in Z-> neutrino decays at a Tera-Z factory like FCC-ee, Observation in W decays at hadron colliders with enough energy and luminosity (100 TeV FCC-hh), would allow charge and flavour identification (mixing angles!) ... be very interesting! But here a detached vertex trigger and some way to reduce the hadron interaction background will be needed. 19.09.2018

It has poorer statistics and requires running ~10 GeV above the Z pole. Systematics on photon selection are not small. present result: Nv= 2.920.05 19.09.2018
