Virtual bilepton effects in polarized Moller scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We investigate the indirect effects of heavy vector bileptons being exchanged in polarized Moller scattering, at the next generation of linear colliders. Considering both longitudinal and transverse beam polarization, and accounting for initial-state radiation, beamstrahlung and beam energy spread, we discuss how angular distributions and asymmetries can be used to detect clear signals of virtual bileptons, and the possibility of distinguishing theoretical models that incorporate these exotic particles. We then estimate 95% C.L. bounds on the mass of these vector bileptons and on their couplings to electrons.
