Nonetheless, the analysis of events containing four charged leptons (including scalar decays into one or two taus as well as into W bosons) makes it possible to determine whether the doubly-charged excitation belongs to a multiplet with weak isospin T = 0,1/2,1,3/2 or 2 (assuming there are no excitations with charge > 2); though discriminating between the isosinglet and isodoublet cases is possible only if charged-current events cannot produce the doubly-charged isosinglet.", optnote="WOS:000324223100017", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1590), last updated on Thu, 17 Oct 2013 10:33:10 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2013.07.014", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.3904", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2013.07.014", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1305.3904", language="English" }
