Here we show that for relatively low neutrino masses, covering the few GeV range, the same-sign to opposite-sign dilepton ratio, R-ll, can be anywhere between 0 and 1, thus signaling a Quasi-Dirac regime. Particular values of R-ll are controlled by the width of the QD neutrino and its mass splitting, the latter being equal to the light-neutrino mass m(nu) in the LSM scenario. The current upper bound on m(nu 1) together with the projected sensitivities of current and future |U-N l|(2) experimental measurements, set stringent constraints on our low-scale QD mass regime. Some experimental prospects of testing the model by LHC displaced vertex searches are also discussed.", optnote="WOS:000677622200005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4930), last updated on Fri, 13 Aug 2021 09:54:26 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2021)154", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.08023", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2021)154", language="English" }
