If a fourth generation of leptons exists, both the neutrino and its charged partner must be heavier than 45 GeV. We suppose that the neutrino is the heavier of the two, and that a global or discrete symmetry prohibits intergenerational…
Many theories beyond the Standard Model predict new phenomena which decay to well isolated, high-$p_{\text{T}}$ leptons. Searches for new physics with these signatures are performed using the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The results…
