Model independent constraints on leptoquarks from rare processes
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Model independent constraints on leptoquarks from μ and τ lepton rare processes
We perform a model independent analysis so as to constrain the leptoquark (LQ) models from negative searches for μ → eγ, μ → 3e decays (and analogous processes in the τ sector), and coherent μ−e conversion in nuclei. We considerably improve some constraints obtained by analyses known in the literature, analyses which we show have by far underestimated the LQ contributions to the μ→ 3e. In parti...
متن کاملComposite leptoquarks at the LHC
If electroweak symmetry breaking arises via strongly-coupled physics, the observed suppression of flavour-changing processes suggests that fermion masses should arise via mixing of elementary fermions with composite fermions of the strong sector. The strong sector then carries colour charge, and may contain composite leptoquark states, arising either as TeV scale resonances, or even as light, p...
متن کاملSingle Leptoquark Production at Hadron Colliders
Leptoquarks can be produced in pairs by gluon–gluon fusion and quark–antiquark annihilation at hadron colliders. While HERA is the proper machine for single production of (eu) and (ed) type leptoquarks, the flavor species of (μu), (μd) and (τu), (τd) type leptoquarks can be produced at hadron colliders very efficiently. Besides exploiting gluon-quark collisions, leptoquarks can also be produced...
متن کاملSearch for Leptoquarks
In many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) new particles are predicted which carry both lepton and baryon number leptoquarks (LQ). LQs might have masses as low as the electroweak scale. Therefore they have been directly searched for in high energy collider experiments. In the BRWmodel [1] LQs are assumed to respect SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) symmetry. Several isospin multiplets can be constructed with...
متن کاملConstraints from Precision Electroweak Data on Leptoquarks and Bileptons
Explicit expressions are derived for the oblique parameters S and T in certain extensions of the standard model. In particular, we consider leptoquarks and bileptons, and find phenomenological constraints on their allowed masses. Leptoquarks suggested by the neutral and charged current anomalies at HERA can give improved agreement with both S and T . If bileptons are the only new states, the si...
