Leptoquark Pair Production at e+e− Linear Colliders: Signals and Background
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study pair production of leptoquarks in ee annihilation at linear colliders. A detailed simulation including beamstrahlung and initial state radiation, leptoquark decay and hadronization, as well as detector smearing, is performed. Discovery limits are estimated for center-of-mass energies of 500 and 800 GeV. The prospects for determining masses and couplings of leptoquarks are also investigated.

Leptoquark Pair Production in Hadronic Interactions
The scalar and vector leptoquark pair production cross sections in hadronic collisions are calculated. In a model independent analysis we consider the most general C and P conserving couplings of gluons to both scalar and vector leptoquarks described by an effective low–energy Lagangian which obeys SU(3)c invariance. Analytrical expressions are derived for the differential and integral scatteri...
متن کاملNew Fermions at e + e − Colliders: II. Signals and Backgrounds.
We discuss the production, at high–energy e + e − linear colliders, of new heavy fermions predicted by extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze in great details the various signals and the corresponding backgrounds for both pair production and single production in association with ordinary fermions. Concentrating on new leptons, we use a model detector for e + e − collisions at a center of ...

A study of the production and the decay of scalar and vector leptoquarks at high-energy ee colliders is presented. All tree-order contributions to single leptoquark production have been calculated and incorporated in the Monte Carlo event generator ERATO-LQ. E-mail: [email protected].
متن کاملResolved Photon Contributions to Leptoquark Production in e + e − and eγ Collisions
We calculate the resolved photon contribution to leptoquark production at eγ colliders for the center of mass energies √ s = 500 GeV and 1 TeV. We also calculate the resolved photon contribution to leptoquark production at ee colliders for the center of mass energies √ s = 1 and 2 TeV. In both cases we find that these contributions are considerably larger than the standard contributions conside...
متن کاملSingle Leptoquark Production at e + e − and γγ Colliders
We consider single production of leptoquarks (LQ's) at e + e − and γγ colliders, for two values of the centre-of-mass energy, √ s = 500 GeV and 1 TeV. We find that LQ's which couple within the first generation are observable for LQ masses almost up to the kinematic limit, both at e + e − and γγ colliders, for the LQ coupling strength equal to α em. The cross sections for single production of 2 ...
