Description

We study weak isosinglet vectorlike leptons that decay through a small mixing with the tau lepton, for which the discovery and exclusion reaches of the Large Hadron Collider and future proposed hadron colliders are limited. We show how an e+e collider may act as a discovery machine for these τ particles, demonstrate that the τ mass peak can be reconstructed in a variety of distinct signal regions, and explain how the τ branching ratios may be measured.
