Abstract

We study contributions of single scalar or vector leptoquark (LQ) to loop-induced Higgs processes, gluon fusion production (gghg g \to h) and hγγh \to \gamma \gamma decay, by analyzing the current Higgs data from the LHC Run I and II. Scalar LQ is studied in a model independent way, while the vector LQ U1(3,1,2/3)U_1(\mathbf{3},\mathbf{1},2/3) is discussed in the '4321' model. Constraints on the interactions of LQ and Higgs boson are obtained. We provide a method to determine vacuum expectation values υ3\upsilon_3 and υ1\upsilon_1 of the new scalar fields Ω3\Omega_3 and Ω1\Omega_1 in the '4321' model via the combination of Higgs data and measurements of RD()R_{D^{(*)}} and RK()R_{K^{(*)}}.
