Abstract We investigate in some detail the possible experimental signatures for heavy lepton production viaW ± decays inp $$\bar p$$ reactions at collider energies. A detailed presentation of the production dynamics, including higher-order Quantum Chromodynamics effects, is given: special emphasis is put on mass and spin effects. The leptonic decay channels of the heavy leptons give distributions which cannot easily be distinguished from τ production. On the other hand, the hadronic decay channels yield a distinctive signature: two hadronic jets in events with a large missing energy (p T miss ∼20 GeV): the invariant mass and relative angular distributions of the jets reflect the mass of the heavy unstable lepton.
