Abstract
We define bileptons to be bosons coupling to a pair of leptons
and construct the most general dimension four lagrangian
involving scalar and vector bileptons.
We concentrate on fields with lepton number 2,
and derive model independent bounds
on their masses and couplings
from low-energy data.
In addition,
we study their signals
in high-energy experiments
and forecast the discovery potential of future colliders.
