Abstract
A search for unstable neutral and charged heavy leptons as well as for stable charged heavy leptons has been made at center-of-mass energies root s = 161 GeV and root s = 172 GeV with the L3 detector at LEP. No evidence for their existence was found. We exclude unstable neutral l eptons of Dirac (Majorana) type for masses below 78.0 (66.7), 78.0 (66 .7) and 72.2 (58.2) GeV, if the heavy neutrino couples to the electron , muon or tau family, respectively. We exclude unstable charged heavy leptons for masses below 81.0 GeV for a wide mass range of the associa ted neutral heavy lepton. The production of stable charged heavy lepto ns with a mass less than 84.2 GeV is also excluded. If the unstable ch arged heavy lepton decays via mixing into a massless neutrino, we excl ude masses below 78.7 GeV. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
