Constraining flavoured leptoquarks with LHC and LFV

Abstract

We consider the framework of flavoured leptoquarks, in models with scalar or vector leptoquarks, and look for constraints to the parameter space of these models. Using primarily direct searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and precision processes that probe Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV), we present lower bounds for the masses of the leptoquarks in different flavoured scenarios. We classify the models according to the specific leptoquark, distinguished with respect to their couplings to charged leptons (lepton isolation, two-columned patterns) and in scenarios with specific hierarchies in the couplings (hierarchical, 2-3 democratic, and flipped).
