Naturally light leptoquarks.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light first generation leptoquarks are being hunted for in HERA and at FNAL and there are various proposals for further searches in future machines. Such leptoquarks are however problematic from a theoretical point of view: Low energy precision measurements imply strong constraints on the couplings of the leptoquarks, and up till now the fulfilment of these constraints seemed extremely unnatural. Here we show that horizontal symmetries, which are very conventional and widely used in the literature for completely different purposes, can suppress the unwanted couplings. Therefore light first generation leptoquarks can be natural. Address after October 1: Elta, P.O. Box 330, Ashdod, Israel

The Neutrino Magnetic Moment Induced by Leptoquarks
Allowing leptoquarks to interact with both right-handed and left-handed neutrinos (i.e., “non-chiral” leptoquarks), we show that a non-zero neutrino magnetic moment can arise naturally. Although the mass of the non-chiral vector leptoquark that couples to the first generation fermions is constrained severely by universality of the π+ leptonic decays and is found to be greater than 50 TeV, the m...
متن کاملMuch Ado About Leptoquarks: A Comprehensive Analysis *
We examine the phenomenological implications of a N 200 GeV leptoquarks in light of the recent excess of events at HERA. Given the relative predictions of events rates in e+p versus e–p, we demonstrate that classes of leptoquarks may be excluded, including those contained in EG GUT models. It is shown that future studies with polarized beams at HERA could reveal the chirality of the leptoquarks...
متن کاملHiggs induced light leptoquark-diquark mixing and proton decay
In low energy phenomenology to avoid the strong constraints of proton decay it is usually assumed that light (≈ 250 Gev) leptoquarks couple only to quark-lepton pairs and light diquarks couple only to quark pairs. In this paper we present two specific examples where the higgs induced mixing between leptoquarks and diquarks through trilinear interaction terms reintroduces the troublesome couplin...
متن کاملLeptoquarks and vector-like strong interactions at the TeV scale
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.
متن کاملLow energy effects of Higgs induced leptoquark-diquark mixing
In low energy phenomenology to avoid the strong constraints of proton decay it is usually assumed that light (≈ 250 Gev) leptoquarks couple only to quark-lepton pairs and light diquarks couple only to quark pairs. In this work we show that the SM Higgs boson could induce a mixing between leptoquarks and diquarks through trilinear interaction terms which reintroduces the troublesome couplings an...
