1  Search for ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \mu}^{-}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ .
2  Reanalysis of CHARM results (cf. ORLOFF 2002 ) to include searches for ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \ell}^{+}}{{\mathit \ell}^{-}}$ decays, and including the production of HNLs from ${{\mathit \tau}}$ decays.
3  ${{\mathit D}_{{{s}}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \tau}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ , with ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ decay via ${{\mathit U}}_{ {{\mathit \tau}} {{\mathit x}} }$.
4  ${{\mathit D}_{{{s}}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{\tau}}}}{{\mathit \tau}^{+}}$ , ${{\mathit \tau}^{+}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}{{\mathit X}}$ , with ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ decay via ${{\mathit U}}_{ {{\mathit \tau}} {{\mathit x}} }$.
5  Search for prompt ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ decay signatures.
6  Search for displaced ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ decay signatures. Kinematical suppression of ${{\mathit \nu}_{{{x}}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \tau}}{{\mathit X}}$ at lower masses leads to rapid loosening of the $\vert {{\mathit U}}_{ {{\mathit \tau}} {{\mathit x}} }\vert $ bound compared to that for $\vert {{\mathit U}}_{ {{\mathit e}} {{\mathit x}} }\vert $ and $\vert {{\mathit U}}_{ {{\mathit \mu}} {{\mathit x}} }\vert $.
7  TUMASYAN 2022H sets limits on an approximately mass-degenerate vector-like lepton SU(2) doublet coupling to the ${{\mathit \tau}}$. Some of the reported signal region distributions might be used to set limits for heavy neutral leptons coupled to the ${{\mathit \tau}}$. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb${}^{-1}$.
