Abstract
We study the lepton-induced resonant production of color-adjoint leptons (leptogluons) at the LHC, employing the lepton parton density function of the proton. We demonstrate that this production mechanism can be useful to extend the LHC ability to search for leptogluons beyond purely quark/gluon-initiated production processes up to $\ensuremath{\sim}3.5\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ leptogluon masses and $\mathcal{O}(1)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ compositeness scales. Discerning leptogluons from scalar and vector leptoquarks is also possible in this channel, given a data sample containing the order of 100 signal events. We argue that the resonant channel can be combined with leptogluon pair and associated leptogluon-lepton productions to boost exclusion limits and discovery prospects at the LHC.
