Contrary to the general trend of looking for new physics at energies beyond the current reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this article proposes a strategy to look for light new physics via a meticulous study of well known and…
Rare leptonic and semi-leptonic decays offer an excellent opportunity to test the Standard Model of Particle Physics. These proceedings report on two recent LHCb measurements. The first is an observation of the rare $J/\psi \to…
We consider the recent LHCb result for $B_c\to J/\psi \tau \nu$ in conjunction with the existing anomalies in $R(D)$ and $R(D^\star)$ within the framework of a right-handed current with enhanced couplings to the third generation. The model…
Leptoquarks with mass in the region of $550-650$ GeV are a possible candidate for the recent excess seen by CMS in the $eejj$ and $e \nu jj$ channels. We discuss models where leptoquarks decay primarily to dark matter and jets, thereby…
Leptoquarks have been suggested to solve a variety of discrepancies between the expected and observed phenomenon. In this paper, we show that the scalar doublet Leptoquark with Hypercharge 7/6 can simultaneously explain the recent…
We explore leptoquark production and decay for the $\tilde{R}_{2}$ class of models at the proposed $e^{-} p$ collider LHeC, planned to operate with 150 GeV electron and 7 TeV proton beams. In addition to the coupling of leptoquark with the…
Leptoquarks occur in many new physics scenarios and could be the next big discovery at the LHC. The purpose of this paper is to point out that a model-independent search strategy covering all possible leptoquarks is possible and has not yet…
We investigate the discovery potential for first generation leptoquarks at the LEP200 $e^+e^-$ collider. We consider direct leptoquark searches using single leptoquark production via resolved photon contributions which offers a much higher…
We attempt to explain recent anomalies in semileptonic $B$ decays at LHCb via a composite Higgs model, in which both the Higgs and an $SU(2)_L$-triplet leptoquark arise as pseudo-Goldstone bosons of the strong dynamics. Fermion masses are…
We study potential New Physics effects in the $\bar B \to D^{(*)} \tau \bar\nu$ decays. As a particular example of New Physics models we consider the class of leptoquark models and put the constraints on the leptoquark couplings using the…
Extensions of the standard model with universal extra dimensions are interesting both as phenomenological templates as well as model-building fertile ground. For instance, they are one the prototypes for theories exhibiting compressed…
Leptoquarks have been proposed as a possible explanation of anomalies in $\bar{B}\mapsto D^{*} \tau \bar{\nu } $ decays, the apparent anomalies in $(g-2)_\mu$ experiments and a violation of lepton universality. Motivated by this, we examine…
At the LHC, dileptonic events may turn up new physics interacting with quarks and leptons. The poster child for this scenario is a resonant $Z'$, much anticipated in $\ell^+ \ell^-$ invariant mass spectra. However, angular spectra of…
A number of LHC resonance search channels display an excess in the invariant mass region of 1.8 - 2.0 TeV. Among them is a $3.4\,\sigma$ excess in the fully hadronic decay of a pair of Standard Model electroweak gauge bosons, in addition to…
We present a comprehensive analysis of the discovery reach and exclusion limits for an ultraheavy diquark scalar (7-9.5 TeV) decaying into a pair of vectorlike quarks (1.5-2 TeV) at the HL-LHC. Building on an improved signal selection…
A search for leptoquarks at HERA was performed in H1 using 1994 $e^+ p$ data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about $3 \pb^{-1}$. Single leptoquarks were searched for in direct positron-quark fusion processes taking into account…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations recently presented evidence of a resonance decaying to pairs of photons around 750 GeV. In addition, the BaBar, Belle, and LHCb collaborations have evidence of lepton non-universality in the semileptonic…
While the $S_3$ scalar leptoquark presents a possible tree-level explanation of the $b \to s \ell \ell$ flavour anomalies, it suffers from two conceptual problems which are often disregarded by model-builders. Firstly, the quantum numbers…
Searches have been made for first generation scalar and vector leptoquarks by the D0 collaboration and for second generation scalar leptoquarks by the CDF collaboration. Lower leptoquark mass limits were set. A search for squarks and…
The $B$-physics experiments at LHCb, BaBar and Belle hint towards deviations from Lepton Flavor Universality in both the tree-level and loop-induced $B$ meson semileptonic decays. We propose a leptoquark model with light right-handed…
