We investigate the impact of sterile neutrinos on the decay rate of extra s with mass in the TeV range in heterotic string derived models. We explore the impact of sterile neutrinos on the current
mass exclusion limits at the LHC, and how these bounds change when the parameter space of this specific class of models is modified.
