Bileptons: present limits and future prospects

Abstract: We define bileptons to be bosons coupling to a pair of leptons and construct the most general dimension four lagrangian involving scalar and vector bileptons. We concentrate on fields with lepton number 2, and derive model independent bounds on their masses and couplings from low-energy data. In addition, we study their signals in high energy experiments and forecast the discovery potential of future colliders.

“…Extensions with vector-like leptons in nontrivial SU(2) L representations are also possible [432]. Unsurprisingly, the phenomenology [423,425,[433][434][435] and direct search constraints [433,434] for L-violating, doubly charged vector bosons are similar to L-violating, doubly charged scalar bosons, which we now discuss.…”

“…The Type II mechanism can be embedded in a number of extended gauge scenarios, for example the LRSM as discussed in Sec. 3.1.4, as well as GUTs, such as (331) theories [423][424][425][426] and the extensions of minimal SU(5) [427]. For (331) models, one finds the presence of bileptons [428,429], i.e., gauge bosons with L = ±2 charges and hence Q = ±2 electric charges.…”

“…If, in the respective processes, the square of the momentum transfer is substantially lower than the squared mass of the exchanged particle, then the interactions induced by the exchange of these new states can be described in terms of a four-fermion contact interaction (CI). Here, we mean effects associated, for example, with the composite structure of fermions [1,2] and with the exchange of heavy Z and W bosons [3,4], scalar and vector leptoquarks LQ [5][6][7], supersymmetric leptons and quarks in supersymmetric theories featuring R-parity violation [8,9], scalar or vector bileptons [10], and vector boson and graviton Kaluza-Klein (KK) states in models involving extra spatial dimensions [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Thus, contact interactions provide a universal parametrization of deviations from the Standard Model behavior that are induced by various types of new physics in the behavior of observables and are quite efficient in searches for these new effects, irrespective of the source that causes them.…”
