One of the most straightforward extensions to the standard model is the model based on the gauge group
. This model contains three heavy Right-Handed (RH) neutrinos, essential for anomaly cancellation and preserving gauge invariance. The model is attractive due to its relatively simple theoretical structure, and the crucial test of the model is the detection of the new heavy neutral
gauge boson, the heavy-neutrinos
, and the new Higgs boson H. The coexistence of a
boson and the heavy-neutrinos opens up a new possibility of searching for these particles simultaneously by producing a
at the future muon collider and its decay to a heavy-neutrinos pair. With these motivations, we carried out a study on the
resonance and heavy-neutrino pair production at the future muon collider through the process
with the subsequent decay of
to pairs of
with
. The study is realized in the resonance of the
boson and for the energies and luminosities of the future muon collider of
TeV and
. Our results show that the possibility of performing measurements for the
boson and the heavy-neutrinos is moderate at the future muon collider. However, incorporating
annihilation and Vector Boson Scattering rates of WWZ into our study, as well as the Leptonic, Semi-leptonic, and Hadronic channels of the
for the signal, has an impact on the sensitivity of the process. Our results complement other studies on the production and decay of heavy neutrinos and may be helpful to the scientific community.
