Abstract
The production at the LHC of exotic excited leptons of charge Q = +2e is considered. Such states are predicted in composite models with extended isospin multiplets (IW = 1 and IW = 3/2). The coupling among these doubly charged leptons and Standard Model fermions may occur either via gauge or contact interactions. In the former case the decay channels are more constrained. We study the production cross section at the LHC of L++ (pp → L++ −) and focus on the leptonic signature deriving from the subsequent decays L++ → W+ + → + + νl. The invariant mass distribution of the like-sign dilepton exhibits a sharp end-point corresponding to excited doubly charged lepton mass m∗. A preliminary study for the production of doubly charged leptons at the future linear colliders, by considering the process e−e− → L−− e νe, is carried out. Both the contact and gauge interaction mechanisms are investigated and compared.
