Bounds on vector leptoquarks.

چکیده
We derive bounds on vector leptoquarks coupling to the first generation, using data from low energy experiments as well as from high energy accelerators. Similarly to the case of scalar leptoquarks, we find that the strongest indirect bounds arise from atomic parity violation and universality in leptonic π decays. These bounds are considerably stronger than the first direct bounds of HERA, restricting vector leptoquarks that couple with electromagnetic strength to right-handed quarks to lie above 430 GeV or 460 GeV, and leptoquarks that couple with electromagnetic strength to left-handed quarks to lie above 1.3 TeV, 1.2 TeV and 1.5 TeV for the SU(2)W singlet, doublet and triplet respectively.

Pair production of scalar leptoquarks at the Tevatron
We present the cross section for pair production of scalar leptoquarks LQ in p¯ p collisions, p + ¯ p → LQ + LQ + X, at the Fermilab Tevatron in next-to-leading order QCD. Including the higher-order corrections stabilizes the theoretical prediction and increases the size of the cross section for renormalization/factorization scales close to the mass of the leptoquarks. This leads to an increase...
متن کاملBounds on the Masses and Couplings of Leptoquarks from Leptonic Partial Widths of the Z
The vertex corrections to the leptonic partial widths of the Z induced by leptoquarks that couple leptons to the top quark are considered. We obtain stringent bounds on the parameter space of the masses and Yukawa couplings of these leptoquarks, using the latest information on the Z → ll decay widths measured at LEP. Leptoquarks coupling with electroweak strength to top quarks are constrained t...
متن کاملModel independent constraints on leptoquarks from rare processes
We present model independent constraints on the masses and couplings to fermions of B and L conserving leptoquarks. Such vector or scalar particles could have masses below 100 GeV and be produced at HERA; we list the generation dependent bounds that can be calculated from rare lepton and meson decays, meson-anti-meson mixing and various electroweak tests.
متن کاملOn the Expectations for Leptoquarks in the Mass Range of O(200 GeV)
A summary is given on the experimental bounds for the couplings and masses of scalar and vector leptoquarks associated to the first fermion generation. We investigate to which extent an interpretation of the recently reported excess of events in the large x and Q range at HERA in terms of single leptoquark production is compatible with other experimental results.

We explore the production of vector leptoquarks(V) at the Tevatron, LHC, and SSC through both quark-antiquark and gluon fusion: q ¯ q, gg → V V. The cross sections are found to be somewhat larger than for scalar leptoquarks of the same mass implying enhanced search capabilities. Many extensions of the standard model (SM) which place quarks and leptons on an equal footing predict the existence o...
