The analysis is based on 13 fb(-1) of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. No evidence for excited leptons is found, and a limit is set at the 95{\%} credibility level on the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the excited-lepton mass m(l*). For m(l*) >= 0.8 TeV, the respective upper limits on sigma B(l(*) -> l gamma) are 0.75 and 0.90 fb for the e* and mu* searches. Limits on sigma B are converted into lower bounds on the compositeness scale 3. In the special case where Lambda = m(l*), excited-electron and excited-muon masses below 2.2 TeV are excluded.", optnote="WOS:000324073000001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1593), last updated on Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:56:08 +0000", issn="1367-2630", doi="10.1088/1367-2630/15/9/093011", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1308.1364", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/15/9/093011", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1308.1364", language="English" }
