The properties of light leptoquarks predicted in the context of a simple grand unified theory and their observability at the LHC are investigated. The SU(5) symmetry of the theory implies that the leptoquark couplings to matter are related…
A search is presented for the production of both first- and second-generation scalar leptoquarks with a final state of either two electrons and one jet or two muons and one jet. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass…

We extend the $SU(3)_C \times SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X$ model with neutral leptons (331LHN) by introducing scalar leptoquarks. We determine the particle content of the leptoquark multiplets and their Yukawa interactions with fermions. We find…

The LHC search strategies for leptoquarks that couple dominantly to a top quark are different than for the ones that couple mostly to the light quarks. We consider charge $1/3$ ($\phi_1$) and $5/3$ ($\phi_5$) scalar leptoquarks that can…
