Vector-Like Lepton Pair Production With Polarized Beams at Linear Colliders:Sensitivity Projections and Chirality Observables
Abstract
We study pair production of a vector-like lepton doublet at polarized future linear colliders, focusing on the charged and neutral channels and . The benchmark masses are at CLIC with and at ILC with . Using the realistic polarization configurations LR, RL, LL, and RR, we evaluate tree-level production-level cross sections and construct observables designed to test the electroweak structure of the doublet. The charged channel is consistently larger than the neutral channel because it receives both photon and exchange. In the LR configuration, the charged-channel rates reach and at CLIC, and and at ILC, for the two benchmark masses at each collider. We express rate reach through the projected visible-fraction requirement , keeping the result independent of a specific decay selection. To quantify charged--neutral separation we use the absolute discriminator , which reaches about at CLIC and at ILC in the LR benchmark. We also find a stable observed asymmetry separation, --, between the charged and neutral channels. The corresponding production-level statistical projection gives sizeable values for the benchmark luminosities, scaling as under an equal LR/RL luminosity split. These results demonstrate that the beam polarization can provide a representation-sensitive diagnostic of vector-like lepton doublets, beyond a simple rate enhancement.
