Description

Events with at least two high transverse momentum leptons (electrons or muons) are studied using the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. Seven di- and tri-lepton events are observed in e+p collision data with a scalar sum of the lepton transverse momenta above 100 GeV, while 1.94 +- 0.17 events are expected. Such events are not observed in e-p collisions for which 1.19 +- 0.12 are predicted. A search for events containing two high-transverse-momentum tau leptons has been performed and observed results will be presented.
