Production of heavy leptons from gluon fusion

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We show the production of heavy lepton pairs in pp and pp collisions at multi-TeV energies is dominated by gluon fusion for lepton masses above 100-200 GeV. We also find that the decay of the Higgs boson into heavy lepton pairs may provide a clear signal of Higgs production.
