We implement a minimal linear seesaw model (LSM) for addressing the Quasi-Dirac (QD) behaviour of heavy neutrinos, focusing on the mass regime of M N ≲ M W . 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 ν in the LSM scenario. The current upper bound on m ν1 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.
