Abstract

We investigate the pair production of charged heavy leptons via photon-induced processes at the proposed CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Using effective photon and $Z$ approximations, rates are given for ${L}^{+}{L}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ production due to $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ fusion and $Z\ensuremath{\gamma}$ fusion for the cases of inelastic, elastic, and semielastic $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions. These are compared with the corresponding rates for production via the gluon fusion and Drell-Yan mechanisms. Various $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and $Z\ensuremath{\gamma}$ differential luminosities for $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions are also presented.
