Search for third-generation vector-like leptons in pp collisions at s√ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector Atlas Collaboration Aad, G. Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Rodríguez Chala, Mikael Beyond Standard Model Hadron-Hadron Scattering Tau Physics A search for vector-like leptons in multilepton (two, three, or four-or-more electrons plus muons) final states with zero or more hadronic -lepton decays is presented. The search is performed using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. To maximize the separation of signal and background, a machine-learning classifier is used. No excess of events is observed beyond the Standard Model expectation. Using a doublet vector-like lepton model, vector-like leptons coupling to third-generation Standard Model leptons are excluded in the mass range from 130 GeV to 900 GeV at the 95% confidence level, while the highest excluded mass is expected to be 970 GeV. 2023-09-05T10:23:14Z 2023-09-05T10:23:14Z 2023-07-13 journal article The ATLAS collaboration., Aad, G., Abbott, B. et al.
