Description
We study weak isosinglet vectorlike leptons that decay through a small mixing with the tau lepton, for which the discovery and exclusion reaches of the Large Hadron Collider and future proposed hadron colliders are limited. We show how an e+ e- collider may act as a discovery machine for these tau' particles, demonstrate that the tau' mass peak can be reconstructed in a variety of distinct signal regions, and explain how the tau' branching ratios may be measured.
