Leptoquarks and vector-like strong interactions at the TeV scale
نویسنده
چکیده
In a vector-like extension of the minimal standard model with mirror fermions leptoquarks can be bound states of fermion-mirror-fermion pairs held together by a new strong interaction at the TeV scale. The small couplings of leptoquarks to light fermion pairs arise due to mixing. The large Q event excess at HERA and also the high ET jet excess at Tevatron can potentially be explained.

Signals for vector leptoquarks in hadronic collisions.
We analyze systematically the signatures of vector leptoquarks in hadronic collisions. We examine their single and pair productions, as well as their effects on the production of lepton pairs. Our results indicate that a machine like the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be able to unravel the existence of vector leptoquarks with masses up to the range of 2–3 TeV. Submitted to Phys.

متن کاملPair 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 vector leptoquarks.
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, rest...
متن کاملSignal and backgrounds for leptoquarks at the CERN LHC. II. Vector leptoquarks
We perform a detailed analyses of the CERN Large Hadron Collider ~LHC! capability to discover first generation vector leptoquarks through their pair production. We study the leptoquark signals and backgrounds that give rise to final states containing a pair ee and jets. Our results show that the LHC will be able to discover vector leptoquarks with masses up to 1.8–2.3 TeV depending on their cou...
متن کاملA low – energy compatible SU ( 4 ) – type Model for Vector Leptoquarks of Mass ≤ 1 TeV
The Standard Model is extended by a SU(2) L singlet of vector leptoquarks. An additional SU(4) gauge symmetry between right–handed up quarks and right– handed leptons is introduced to render the model renormalizable. The arrangement is made in such a way that no conflict with low energy restrictions is encountered. The SU(2) L singlet mediates interactions between the right–handed leptons and u...
