D. Buskulic et al., SEARCH FOR HEAVY-LEPTON PAIR PRODUCTION IN E(-) COLLISIONS AT CENTER-OF-MASS ENERGIES OF 130 AND 136 GEV()E(), Physics letters. Section B, 384(1-4), 1996, pp. 439-448
A search for pair production of new heavy leptons has been performed a
ssuming different scenarios for the mixing of the new particles with S
tandard Model leptons. No candidate events were found in a data sample
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 pb(-1) collected by
the ALEPH detector at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV. New
limits on production cross-sections and on masses of sequential lepton
s were obtained which significantly extend the mass regions excluded a
t LEP1. For instance, charged heavy leptons with masses below 63.5 GeV
/c(2) are excluded at 95% C.L. for mass differences to the associated
neutral lepton of more than 7 GeV/c(2).
