abstract

A search for vector-like leptons in multilepton final states is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and 2017. Events are categorized by the multiplicity of electrons, muons, and hadronically decaying $\tau$ leptons. The missing transverse momentum and the scalar sum of the lepton transverse momenta are used to distinguish the signal from background. The observed results are consistent with the expectations from the standard model hypothesis. The existence of a vector-like lepton doublet, coupling to the third generation standard model leptons in the mass range of 120-790 GeV, is excluded at 95% confidence level. These are the most stringent limits yet on the production of a vector-like lepton doublet, coupling to the third generation standard model leptons.

  1. Investigating vector-like leptons decaying into an electron and missing transverse energy in e$^{+}$ e$^{-}$ collisions with $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV at the ILC

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated ILC data at 500 GeV with 1000 fb^-1 would exclude vector-like leptons up to about 100-180 GeV for small mass splittings, and across the whole studied range for a 100 GeV splitting, at a Yukawa coupling of 0.1.

  2. Searching for vector-like leptons decaying into an electron and missing transverse energy in e$^{+}$e$^{-}$ collisions with $\sqrt{s} = 240$ GeV at the FCC-ee

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Monte Carlo projections for FCC-ee at 240 GeV set 95% CL exclusion limits on vector-like lepton mass and Yukawa coupling in a lepton-portal scalar dark-matter scenario if no signal appears.
