Leptoquark explanation of HERA anomaly in the context of gauge unification

چکیده
We examine the consequences of leptoquark explanation of HERA anomaly in the context of R parity conserving supersymmetric gauge unified theory with the gauge unification scale at ∼ 10 16 GeV. We pointed out the difficulty of constructing a grandunified theory. However gauge unification is still possible at ∼ 10 16 GeV when additional multiplets are introduced. We determine the mass spectrum of these additional fields (fermions and scalars) in gauge mediated and supergravity scenarios. Unique signatures and mass bounds are discussed.

Light Colour Triplets in Unified Models and the HERA Events ⋆
Motivated by the recent HERA events which are consistent with a possible leptoquark interpretation, we discuss the prospects for including additional light colour triplets and anti-triplets in the spectrum of supersymmetric unified theories. We focus on a particular string-inspired Pati-Salam model, and propose a simple mechanism by which a light colour triplet of charge-1/3 plus anti-triplet o...
متن کاملAtomic parity violation and the HERA anomaly
We show that the two scenarios able to explain the Hera anomaly — a new leptoquark coupling or a new contact interaction — predict new contributions to atomic parity violation. These corrections are sufficiently large and different that a feasible reduction in the dominant atomic theory uncertainty could give some hint in favour of one of the two scenarios. 1 The excess of events at large Q obs...

متن کاملImplications of a charged-current anomaly at HERA
We demonstrate that in the presence of mixing between different scalar leptoquark multiplets it is possible to simultaneously account for the HERA high-Q2 neutral current anomaly, and produce a charged current anomaly of comparable magnitude. The reduced branching ratio to electrons and jets of the lightest leptoquark state results in a significant weakening of the CDF/D0 limits on scalar lepto...
متن کاملConstraints on Leptoquark Masses and Couplings from Rare Processes and Unification ⋆
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 ...
