The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 41.6 fb−1 collected in 2018 by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, using a dedicated data stream that enhances the number of recorded events containing B mesons. The search probes heavy neutrinos with masses in the range 1 < mN < 3 GeV and decay lengths in the range 10−2 < cτN < 104 mm, where τN is the N proper mean lifetime. Signal events are defined by the signature B → ℓBNX; N → ℓ±π∓, where the leptons ℓB and ℓ can be either a muon or an electron, provided that at least one of them is a muon. The hadronic recoil system, X, is treated inclusively and is not reconstructed. No significant excess of events over the standard model background is observed in any of the ℓ±π∓ invariant mass distributions. Limits at 95% confidence level on the sum of the squares of the mixing amplitudes between heavy and light neutrinos, |VN|2, and on cτN are obtained in different mixing scenarios for both Majorana and Dirac-like N particles. The most stringent upper limit |VN|2 < 2.0 × 10−5 is obtained at mN = 1.95 GeV for the Majorana case where N mixes exclusively with muon neutrinos. The limits on |VN|2 for masses 1 < mN < 1.7 GeV are the most stringent from a collider experiment to date. © The Author(s) 2024.Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH2024Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/11674https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep06(2024)1831029-8479enJournal of High Energy Physicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/11674
