We describe current and future hadron collider limits on new vector-like leptons with exotic decays. We consider the possibility that, besides standard decays, the new leptons can also decay into a Standard Model charged lepton and a stable particle like a dark photon. To increase their applicability, our results are given in terms of arbitrary branching ratios in the different decay channels. In the case that the dark photon is stable at cosmological scales we discuss the interplay between the dark photon and the vector-like lepton in generating the observed dark matter relic abundance and the complementarity of collider searches and dark matter phenomenology.

  1. The Dark Side of a Tera-Z Factory

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Future Tera-Z runs at FCC-ee/CEPC could indirectly probe TeV-scale t-channel dark matter portals through one-loop and two-loop electroweak precision shifts, and in leptophilic models would be the only planned experime...

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the 3c3L1A1B model, a single larger gauge force unifies part of the weak force with a dark force, producing a light dark photon, multi-TeV portal matter, and new heavy gauge bosons with testable signatures.

  3. Portal Matter and Scotogenic-like Dirac Neutrino Masses

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    One-loop diagrams from dark-charged scalars and fermions in an E6-like portal matter model generate Dirac neutrino masses near 0.05 eV.
