A search for pair production of vector-like leptons coupling to first- and second-generation Standard Model leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS…
We establish model independent bounds on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau-lepton using the two-photon processes $\gamma\gamma \to \tau^+\tau^-$ and $\gamma\gamma \to \tau^+\tau^-\gamma$. We use ${\cal L}=10, 50,…

We study the LHC potential for discovering TeV-scale SU(2)_L 5-plet fermions introduced recently to explain small neutrino masses. We show that the Drell-Yan production and the decays of new exotic Sigma leptons are testable at the LHC.…
We study the impact of the multi-lepton searches at the LHC on supersymmetric models with compressed mass spectra. For such models the acceptances of the usual search strategies are significantly reduced due to requirement of large…
We analyze the collider signatures of models with a vector-like top-prime quark and a massive color-octet boson. The top-prime quark mixes with the top quark in the Standard Model, leading to richer final states than ones that are…
The T-odd leptons are the typical particles predicted by the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT model) and the observation of these particles might be regarded as the direct evidence of the LHT model. In this paper, we investigate the…
We consider two theoretical scenarios, each including a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-odd sector and leading to an elementary dark matter candidate. The first one is a variant of the Type-III seesaw model where one lepton triplet is…
We investigate the possibility to identify the nature of spin of exotic charged particles at the future $e^+e^-$ collider in $l^\pm+2j+MET$ final state choosing IDM and MSSM as examples for the new physics models with scalar and fermionic…
Extensions of the standard model with universal extra dimensions are interesting both as phenomenological templates as well as model-building fertile ground. For instance, they are one the prototypes for theories exhibiting compressed…
Some extensions of the standard model predict the existence of particles having two units of leptonic charge, known as bileptons. One of such models is based on the $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ symmetry group (3-3-1 model, for…
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) was proposed as the next energy-frontier infrastructure at CERN, to study e$^+$e$^-$ collisions at three centre-of-mass energy stages: 380 GeV, 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV. The main goal of its high-energy stages is…
There exist tree-level generalizations of the Type-I and Type-III seesaw mechanisms that realize neutrino mass via low-energy effective operators with d>5. However, these generalizations also give radiative masses that can dominate the…

We have searched for unstable neutral and charged heavy leptons, N and L^+/-, and for excited states of neutral and charged leptons, nu*, e*, mu* and tau*, in e^+e^- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 170 and 172 GeV using the OPAL…
A search for charged and neutral excited leptons is performed in 217 pb^-1 of e+e- collision data collected with the L3 detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies from 202 GeV up to 209 GeV. The pair- and single-production mechanisms of…
The Twin Higgs model provides a natural theory for the electroweak symmetry breaking without the need of new particles carrying the standard model gauge charges below a few TeV. In the low energy theory, the only probe comes from the mixing…
We present a search for new physics in events with two high $p_T$ leptons of the same electric charge, using data with an integrated luminosity of 6.1 fb$^{-1}$. The observed data are consistent with standard model predictions. We set 95%…
We study the impact of new physics models in the charge asymmetry defined for LHC final states consisting of two same-sign leptons (2SS$l$, with $l= e, \mu$) plus jets ($N_\text{jets}\geq2$), with a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$…
A charged Higgs pair can be produced at an ee collider through a t-channel exchange of a heavy neutrino (N) via e^+ e^- -> H^+ H^- and, if N is a Majorana particle, also via the lepton number violating (LNV) like-sign reaction e^\pm e^\pm…
