Observation of Events with Isolated Charged Leptons and Large Missing Tra nsverse Momentum and of Events with Multi-Electrons at HERA

Striking events with isolated charged leptons, large missing transverse momentum and large transverse momentum of the hadronic final state (PTX) have been observed at the electron proton collider HERA. In the full HERA-I data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 130 invpb, the H1 experiment observes 10 events with isolated electrons or muons and with PTX >25 GeV. Only 2.9 pm 0.4 events are expected from Standard Model (SM) processes. Six of these events have PTX >40 GeV, while 1.1 pm 0.2 events are expected. The ZEUS experiment observes good agreement with the SM. However, in a preliminary search ZEUS has found two events with a similar event topology, but tau-leptons instead of electrons or muons in the final state . Only 0.12 pm 0.02 events are expected from SM processes. Moreover, six events with two or more electrons forming an invariant mass bigger than 100 GeV have been observed by the H1 experiment. Only about 0.5 of such events are expected from the SM. The ZEUS measurement is in agreement with the SM expectation.
