    9 The `pSPSS` describes the interactions of a pseudo-Dirac pair of two Majorana degrees of freedom [[latex($N_1$)]] and [[latex($N_2$)]] generically appearing in low-scale seesaw models protected by a lepton-number like symmetry.

     9The `pSPSS` describes the interactions of a pseudo-Dirac pair of two Majorana degrees of freedom [[latex($N_1$)]] and [[latex($N_2$)]] generically appearing in low-scale seesaw models protected by a lepton-number like symmetry.[[BR]]
    1110In the lepton number conserving (LNC) limit the interactions of the symmetry protected seesaw (SPSS) with the Standard Model are
    1211
    13 [[latex($\mathcal L_\text{SPSS}^L = i \overline N_i \, \not\! \partial N_i -  y_{\alpha1} \widetilde H^\dagger \bar \ell_\alpha N_1^c - \overline N_1 m_M^{} N_2^c + \text{H.c.}$)]]
     12[[latex($\mathcal L_\text{SPSS}^L = \overline N_i \, i\!\! \not\! \partial N_i -  y_{\alpha1} \widetilde H^\dagger \bar \ell_\alpha N_1^c - \overline N_1 m_M^{} N_2^c + \text{H.c.}$)]]

    15 The additional lepton number violating (LNV) interactions must be small in order to generate light neutrino masses.

     14The additional lepton number violating (LNV) interactions must be small in order to generate light neutrino masses.[[BR]]
    1715Additionally, they introduce a mass splitting [[latex($\Delta m$)]] between the pseudo-Dirac heavy neutrino mass eigenstates
    1816
    1917[[latex($m_{4/5}^{} = m_M^{} + \frac12 m_M^{} |\theta|^2 \mp \frac12 \Delta m$)]]

    21 where [[latex($\theta = m_D / m_M$)]] with [[latex($m_D = y_1 v$)]] and [[latex($v\simeq174 \text{ GeV}$)]].
    22 
    23 The smallness of the lepton number violating interactions ensures unobservable collider effects, with the exception of heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations since these are a macroscopic interference effect
     19where the contribution from the active sterile mixing parameter [[latex($\theta = m_D / m_M$)]] with [[latex($m_D = y_1 v$)]] and [[latex($v\simeq174 \text{ GeV}$)]] appears already in the LNC case.[[BR]]
     20The smallness of the LNV interactions ensures unobservable collider effects, with the exception of heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations since these are a macroscopic interference effect
    2421
    2522[[latex($P^{\text{LNC}/\text{LNV}}_\text{osc}(\tau) = (1 \pm \cos\left(\Delta m \tau \right) \exp(-\lambda))/2$)]]
     
    2724where [[latex($\lambda$)]] captures the damping of the oscillations due to decoherence.
