Abstract

Several attractive theories predict the existence of mirror fermions. There is a good theoretical reason to expect that the lightest mirror fermions might have relatively long lifetimes. We explore the experimental consequences of such a possibility, focusing on mirror lepton production at the SLC near the Z⁰ resonance. We find that by going slightly off resonance or by polarizing the electron beam one can clearly distinguish the mirror leptons from ordinary leptons.
