Search for exotic leptons in final states with two or three leptons and fat-jets at 13 TeV LHC

Abstract

Exotic leptons in large gauge multiplets, appearing in many scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM), can be produced at the LHC in pairs or association. Owing to their large masses, their eventual decay products -- SM leptons and bosons -- tend to be highly boosted, with the jets stemming from the SM bosons more likely to manifest themselves as a single fat-jet rather than two resolved ones. With the corresponding SM backgrounds being suppressed, final states with two or three leptons and one or two fat-jets are expected to be sensitive in probing exotic fermions much heavier than 1 TeV, and we propose and investigate an appropriate search strategy. To concentrate on the essential, we consider extensions of the SM by leptonic multiplets of a single kind (triplets, quadruplets or quintuplets), bearing in mind that such simplified models typically arise as low-energy limits of more ambitious scenarios addressing various lacunae of the SM. Performing a systematic and comprehensive study of nine such scenarios at the 13 TeV LHC, we find that the corresponding $5\sigma$ discovery reaches a range from 985 GeV to 1650 GeV (1345 GeV to 2020 GeV) for 300 (3000) fb${}^{-1}$.
