The search is based on pp collision data taken at root s = 8TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1). Three high-transverse-momentum electrons or muons are selected, with two of them required to be consistent with originating from a Z boson decay. No significant excess above Standard Model background predictions is observed, and 95{\%} confidence level limits on the production cross section of high-mass trilepton resonances are derived. The results are interpreted in the context of vector-like lepton and type-III seesaw models. For the vector-like lepton model, most heavy lepton mass values in the range 114-176 GeV are excluded. For the type-III seesaw model, most mass values in the range 100-468 GeV are excluded.", optnote="WOS:000363539700001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2436), last updated on Thu, 19 Nov 2015 13:01:18 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP09(2015)108", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01291", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP09(2015)108", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1506.01291", language="English" }
