The focus is on a single production channel for LHC direct searches while double production signatures are proposed for the leptonic colliders. Implications for the discovery of VLLs in view of the recently announced muon (g−2)μ anomaly are also discussed. A Deep Learning algorithm to determine the discovery (or exclusion) statistical significance at the LHC is employed. While doublet VLLs can be probed up to masses of 1 TeV, their singlet counterparts have very low cross sections and can hardly be tested beyond a few hundreds of GeV at the LHC. This motivates a physics-case analysis in the context of leptonic colliders where one obtains larger cross sections in VLL double production channels, allowing to probe higher mass regimes otherwise inaccessible even to the LHC high-luminosity upgrade.
