Abstract

We study the production of heavy leptons belonging to a fourth generation, through the vector boson fusion mechanism in e+ e- collisions at CLIC energies. The analysis of the cross sections shows that, for a consider- able range of lepton masses, photon fusion is the most efficient mechanism for the production of heavy leptons. Only for very high masses the fusion of longitudinally polarized bosons becomes competitive with photon fusion.
