Abstract: (IOP)
We consider production of the doubly charged leptons X(+-)(+-) via e(+)e(-'), l l and e l collisions at the high-energy linear e(+)e(-') colliders. It is found that, due to the smallness of the mixing parameter v(e), the production cross section for the subprocess e l -> X(-')(-')W(+) is too small to be used to study the possible signatures of the doubly charged leptons. However, the processes e+eXXe^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \overline{X^{-}}X^{-} and γγXX\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \overline{X^{-}}X^{-}, are not this case. As long as the doubly charged leptons are not too heavy, they can be abundantly produced via these two processes at the high-energy linear e(+)e(-') colliders.
