Abstract

We study the possible dynamics associated with leptonic charge in futurelinear colliders. Leptophilic massive vector boson, Z l , have been investigated through the process e + e − → μ + μ −. We have shown that ILC and CLIC will give opportunity to observe Z l with masses up to the center of mass energy if the corresponding coupling constant g l exceeds 10−3.
