Searching for spin-3/2 leptons

Abstract

A model of spin-3/2 vector-like leptons is introduced, which serve as an alternative probe of possible lepton compositeness. Possible signatures at the Large Hadron Collider are explored, and current data are used to constrain the masses of the hypothetical new leptons.
