Constraints on Leptoquark Masses and Couplings from Rare Processes and Unification ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
Motivated by the recent experimental data at HERA and ZEUS, which have reported evidence for leptoqark production at √ s = 314 GeV with a mass at mD = 200GeV we consider its implications in unified supersymmetric theories. We also present calculations for leptoquark production incorporating the existing limits from other exotic reactions on its couplings and other relevant parameters. Research supported in part by the EEC under the TMR contract ERBFMRX-CT96-0090 and by ΠENE∆ 91E∆300. March 1997

Composite 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 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 کاملContributions of leptoquark interactions into the tensor and scalar form factors of K + → π 0 l + ν l decay
In the framework of scalar-vector dominance we calculate the hadronic matrix elements of scalar and tensor effective quark currents induced by virtual leptoquark interactions. Combined bounds on the product of couplings and leptoquark masses are obtained from experimental data.
متن کاملOn the Unification of Couplings in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
The unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings within the minimal supersymmetric standard model is studied at the two loop level. We derive an expression for the effective scale, TSUSY , which characterizes the supersymmetric particle threshold corrections to the gauge couplings, and demonstrate that TSUSY is only slightly dependent on the squark and slepton masses, and strongly dependent on the...
