The decay channels N-0 -> W(+/-)l(+/-) (l = e, mu, tau) and L-+/- -> W(+/-)v (v = v(e), v(mu), v(tau)) are considered. The analysis is performed using the final state that contains two leptons (electrons or muons), two jets from a hadronically decaying W boson and large missing transverse momentum. The data used in the measurement correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No evidence of heavy lepton pair production is observed. Heavy leptons with masses below 325-540 GeV are excluded at the 95{\%} confidence level, depending on the theoretical scenario considered.", optnote="WOS:000358935400001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2321), last updated on Tue, 08 Sep 2015 17:50:52 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.92.032001", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01839", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.92.032001", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1506.01839", language="English" }
