Description
First, I will argue that the new fermions must necessarily be vectorlike under the SM gauge group, and consider the prospects for one of the simplest non-trivial fermionic extension: weak isosinglet charged vectorlike leptons. I will show how an electron-positron collider, including a near future Higgs/top factory, can act as a discovery machine for these particles that seem to pose a much more difficult challenge at (future) hadron colliders.
