Description

In this paper we investigate the LHC potential for discovering doubly charged vector bileptons considering the measurable process p, p→e±e±μ±μ±X. We perform the study using four different bilepton masses and three different exotics quark masses. Minimal LHC integrated luminosities needed for discovering and for setting limits on bilepton masses are obtained for both 7 and 14 TeV center-of-mass energies. We find that these spectacular signatures can be observed at the LHC in the next years up to a bilepton mass of order of 1 TeV.
