Abstract The search for events containing isolated leptons (electrons or muons) and missing transverse momentum produced in e+- p collisions is performed with the H1 detector at HERA in the period 1994-2006. The analysed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 341 pb-1, which includes 223 pb-1 of data from the new HERA II phase. A total of 46 events are observed in the complete HERA data, compared to a Standard Model (SM) prediction of 43.0+-6.0. At large hadronic transverse momentum P_T^X >25 GeV, a total of 18 events are observed compared to a SM prediction of 11.5+-1.8. In this region, 15 events are observed in the e+p data compared to a SM prediction of 4.6+-0.8, whereas in the e-p data 3 events are observed compared to a SM prediction of 6.9+-1.0. A new comparison of the efficiency of the H1 and ZEUS experiments to detect events containing isolated electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is also presented.
