Abstract

This work explores the discovery potential of the first-generation weak-isosinglet vectorlike leptons, denoted by <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:msup> <a:mi>E</a:mi> <a:mo>±</a:mo> </a:msup> </a:math> , via pair production at future electron-positron colliders. Our analysis adopts a comprehensive framework that incorporates beam polarization configurations and leverages detailed detector simulations. We focus on two distinct multilepton signatures: the <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <c:mn>2</c:mn> <c:mo>ℓ</c:mo> <c:mo>+</c:mo> <c:mn>2</c:mn> <c:mi>j</c:mi> <c:mo>+</c:mo> <c:msub> <c:menclose notation="updiagonalstrike" other="updiag1"> <c:mi>E</c:mi> </c:menclose> <c:mi>T</c:mi> </c:msub> </c:math> and <g:math xmlns:g="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <g:mn>3</g:mn> <g:mo>ℓ</g:mo> <g:mo>+</g:mo> <g:mn>2</g:mn> <g:mi>j</g:mi> <g:mo>+</g:mo> <g:msub> <g:menclose notation="updiagonalstrike" other="updiag1"> <g:mi>E</g:mi> </g:menclose> <g:mi>T</g:mi> </g:msub> </g:math> final states ( <k:math xmlns:k="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <k:mo>ℓ</k:mo> <k:mo>=</k:mo> <k:mi>e</k:mi> </k:math> , <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <m:mrow> <m:mi>μ</m:mi> </m:mrow> </m:math> ).
