The observation of neutrino oscillations provides experimental evidence for nonzero neutrino masses. Adding heavy, right-handed neutral leptons(HNLs) to the Standard Model(SM) could provide an alternative mechanism for generating the masses of neutrinos.  Several recent CMS results have focused on extending the sensitivity towards lower HNL masses with longer lifetimes. In this talk, I will present a recent result of long-lived HNL searches using a novel detector signature called muon detector shower.
