Abstract

We have looked for evidence of excited lepton production in Z⁰ decay observed in the ALEPH detector at LEP. We find no ℓℓγγ events and set new limits at 95% CL on ℓ^* masses at 44.6, 44.6 and 41.2 GeV/c² for e^*, μ^* and τ^* respectively. Observed events in the ℓℓγ channels are consistent with radiative effects and we set limits for the first time on the ℓ^*ℓZ coupling for ℓ^* masses in the range up to 86 GeV/c².

N2 - We have looked for evidence of excited lepton production in Z0 decay observed in the ALEPH detector at LEP. We find no ℓℓγγ events and set new limits at 95% CL on ℓ* masses at 44.6, 44.6 and 41.2 GeV/c2 for e*, μ* and τ* respectively. Observed events in the ℓℓγ channels are consistent with radiative effects and we set limits for the first time on the ℓ*ℓZ coupling for ℓ* masses in the range up to 86 GeV/c2.
