The dilepton final state in particle physics research refers to the detection of events where two opposite-sign (e.g. one positively charged and one negatively charged) leptons are produced as the final state particles in a particle collision. Dilepton final states are important for studying various fundamental properties of particles, such as their masses, charges, and lifetimes. These events can help researchers investigate processes such as electroweak interactions, lepton flavor violation, and searches for new particles or interactions beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. By analyzing the properties of dilepton final state events, scientists can gain insight into the underlying physics of the fundamental particles and forces that govern the universe.
