We perform a model independent analysis of the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in the $e^-\gamma$ mode of a linear collider of the next generation. Since these leptoquarks are produced singly, higher masses can be probed than in…
We study the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in $e^-e^-$ scattering. We use the most general couplings to the known fermions which are dimensionless, baryon and lepton number conserving, and $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes…
We discuss the leptoquark discovery potential of $e^-\gamma$ scattering and show how polarization and angular distributions can be used to differentiate the different types of leptoquarks.
We study single leptoquark production in $e^+e^-$, $e\gamma$, and $\mu^+\mu^-$ collisions due to the quark content of the photon. Leptoquarks can be produced in substantial numbers for masses very close to the centre of mass energy of the…

We study the production of composite scalar leptoquarks in $e\gamma$ colliders, and we show that an $e^+e^-$ machine operating in its $e\gamma$ mode is the best way to look for these particles in $e^+e^-$ collisions, due to the hadronic…

We study leptoquark production using polarized $e\gamma$ colliders for the center of mass energies $\sqrt s=500$~GeV and 1~TeV. We show that using polarization asymmetries the ten different types of leptoquarks listed by Buchm\"uller,…
The possibilities to pair-produce leptoquarks in photon-photon collisions are discussed. QCD threshold corrections lead to a strong enhancement of the production cross section. Suitably long-lived leptoquarks ($\Gamma_\Phi \lsim 100 \MeV$)…
A study of the production and the decay of scalar and vector leptoquarks at high-energy e+ e- colliders is presented. All tree-order contributions to single leptoquark production have been calculated and incorporated in the Monte Carlo…
The single production of leptoquarks in $e^+e^-$, $e\gamma$ and $\gamma \gamma$ linear colliders is discussed. We show that these new particles could be seen in such machines even if their mass is close to the kinematic limit. (Invited talk…
We consider single production of leptoquarks (LQ's) at $e^+e^-$ and $\gamma\gamma$ colliders, for two values of the centre-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV and 1 TeV. We find that LQ's which couple within the first generation are…
We consider single production of leptoquarks (LQ's) at $e\gamma$ colliders, for two values of the centre-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV and 1 TeV. LQ's with masses essentially up to the kinematic limit can be seen, even for couplings as…

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…
Open heavy flavour production at $e^+e^-$ colliders in deeply inelastic $e\gamma$ scattering has an interesting feature: the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ for this process is calculable for $x>0.01$, and is essentially proportional to the…
