Some properties of heavy lepton families

The simplest four-quark SU(2) ? U(1) models with an anomally-free heavy lepton sector can have two charged heavy leptons and one or two neutral leprons. Such models also explain the rise in R (the ratio of hadronic to muon pair production in e⁺e^? collisions). We study some consequences of different choices of leptonic numbers for L₁ and L₂. In particular, we derive, the leptonic decay width when several final-stae leptons are massive; the cross section for $\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→}\text{L}{}_1\text{L}{}_2$ production; the branching ratio for $\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→}\text{L}{}_2\text{L}{}_2\text{→}\text{e}\text{3μ+}\text{missing energy}$.
