Abstract

A search for the radiative decay of excited charged leptons, ℓ*, and for radiative and weak decays of excited electron neutrinos, νe*, is performed, using the 5.8 pb-1 of data collected by ALEPH at 130-140GeV. No evidence for a signal is found in single or pair production. Excluded mass limits from pair production are close to 65 GeV/c2 for all excited lepton species. Limits on the couplings, λ/mℓ*, of excited leptons are derived from single production. For an excited lepton mass of 130GeV/c2, these limits are 0.04GeV-1 for μ* and τ*, and 0.0007GeV-1 for e* For νe*, the limit is at the level of 0.03 GeV-1 for a mass of 120GeV/c2, independent of the decay branching ratios.
