Heavy Charged Lepton Pair Production Through Photon Fusion at Hadron Supercolliders
The pair production of charged heavy leptons via two photon fusion is considered for hadron collisions at SSC and LHC energies. Rates for the inelastic process $pp \rightarrow γγX \rightarrow L^+L^-X$ and the elastic process $pp \rightarrow γγpp \rightarrow L^+L^- pp$ are given in a Weizsäcker-Williams approximation and compared with production via the gluon fusion and Drell-Yan mechanisms
