We study the production of doubly charged excited leptons at the LHC. These exotic states are predicted in extended weak isospin composite models. A recent analysis of such exotic states was based on a pure gauge model with magnetic type interactions. We include here the mechanism of contact interactions and show that this turns out to dominate the production of the doubly charged leptons. We perform a feasibility analysis of the observation of the tri-lepton signature associated with the production of the exotic doubly charged lepton simulating the response of a generic detector. We give exclusion plots in the parameter space, within statistical uncertainties, at different luminosities.

We consider the production at the LHC of exotic composite leptons of charge Q=+2e. Such states are allowed in composite models which contain extended isospin multiplets (Iw=1 and Iw=3/2). These doubly charged leptons couple with Standard Model [SM] fermions via gauge interactions, thereby delineating and restricting their possible decay channels. We discuss the production cross section at the LHC of L++ (p p --> L++, l-) and concentrate on the leptonic signature deriving from the cascade decays L++ --> W+, l+ --> l+, l+, u_l i.e. p p --> l-, l+, l+, u_l showing that the invariant mass distribution of the like-sign dilepton has a sharp end point corresponding to excited lepton mass m*. We find that the sqrt{s}=7 TeV run is sensitive at the 3-sigma (5-sigma) level to a mass of the order of 600 GeV if L=10 fb^-1 (L=20 fb^-1). The sqrt{s}=14 TeV run can reach a sensitivity at 3-sigma (5-sigma) level up to m*=1 TeV for L=20 fb^-1 (L=60 fb^-1).
We consider the possible discovery potential for single production of charged heavy leptons via anomalous interactions at the envisaged Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) by taking into account initial state radiation (ISR) and beamstrahlung effects. We calculate the production cross sections and decay widths of charged heavy leptons in the context of anomalous interactions at center of mass energies $sqrt{s}=1$ and 3 TeV. The signal and corresponding backgrounds are studied in detail for the mass range 300-1900 GeV.
Little Higgs models with T-parity can easily satisfy electroweak precision tests and at the same time give a stable particle which is a candidate for cold dark matter. In addition to little Higgs heavy gauge bosons, this type of models predicts a set of new T-odd fermions, which may show quite interesting signatures at colliders. We study purely leptonic signatures of T-odd leptons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
New heavy charged lepton production and decay signatures at future electron-positron colliders are investigated at $sqrt {s}=500$ GeV. The consequences of model dependence for vector singlets and vector doublets are studied. Distributions are calculated including hadronization effects and experimental cuts that suppress the standard model background. The final state leptonic energy distributions are shown to give a very clear signature for heavy charged leptons.
In a general two Higgs doublet model, we study flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) decays into leptons at hadron colliders, $pp to phi^0 to tau^mpmu^pm +X$, where $phi^0$ could be a CP-even scalar ($h^0$, $H^0$) or a CP-odd pseudoscalar ($A^0$). The light Higgs boson $h^0$ is found to resemble closely the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. In the alignment limit of $cos(beta-alpha) cong 0$ for $h^0$--$H^0$ mixing, FCNH couplings of $h^0$ are naturally suppressed, but such couplings of the heavier $H^0, A^0$ are sustained by $sin(beta-alpha) simeq 1$. We evaluate physics backgrounds from dominant processes with realistic acceptance cuts and tagging efficiencies. We find promising results for $sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV, which we extend further to $sqrt{s} = 27$ TeV and 100 TeV future pp colliders.
