Taking the reported high-Q^2 anomaly at HERA as a signal of new physics, we show that several independent considerations point towards s-channel leptoquark production as the most attractive interpretation. We argue that even this option is…
We point out that in extended supersymmetric models such as supersymmetric left-right models, it is possible to have leptoquarks that explain the HERA high $Q^2$ anomaly without giving up R-parity conservation. The leptoquarks belong to…
We investigate the possibility of constructing models of R-violating LQD Yukawa couplings using a single U(1) flavour-symmetry group and supermultiplet charge assignments that are compatible with the known hierarchies of quark and lepton…
We summarize two sets of signals at HERA in supersymmetric models with explicitly broken R-parity. (1) The resonant production of single squarks through an operator $L_1Q_i{ \bar D}_j$. (2) The MSSM production of a squark and a slepton…
We examine the possibility that the high-Q^2 events seen at HERA are due to the production and decay of squarks of R-parity violating supersymmetry. The relevant R-parity violating coupling(s) is identified and shown to lie between 0.03 and…
The phenomenology and prospects for a discovery of R-parity violating Supersymmetry at HERA are analysed. Emphasis is put on the direct resonant production of squarks by electron-quark fusion and all possible subsequent decay modes of the…
We reexamine the contact interaction hypothesis for excess high-$Q^2$ events seen at HERA in $e^+ p \to e^+ X$ scattering. We consider the most general structure of contact interactions insisting on $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$…
In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with $R-$parity violation, the high--$Q^2$ HERA events can be interpreted as the $s-$channel production of a single stop of $M_{\tilde{t}_1} \approx 200$ GeV, whose…
R parity violating trilinear couplings $\lambda'_{1jk}$ of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) are constrained from the limit on the electron neutrino mass. Strong limits on these couplings follow from the earlier neglected…
We show that the two scenarios able to explain the HERA anomaly --- a new leptoquark coupling or a new contact interaction --- predict new contributions to atomic parity violation. These corrections are sufficiently large and different that…
Theoretical interpretations of the high-Q^2 events recently observed in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA are reviewed. We discuss leptoquarks, squarks with R-parity violating couplings, and contact interactions. Bounds from…
We summarise possible explanations of the HERA large-Q^2 data, in the framework of R-parity violating supersymmetry. Experimental limits indicate that the most likely production channels are e^+ d --> scharm_L, e^+ d --> stop and e^+ s -->…
We examine the stop production scenario for the anomalous excess of high $Q^2$ events observed at HERA, by taking into account the constraints coming from the leptoquark search at Tevatron and the atomic parity violation experiments. This…
The excess in high-Q^2 events at HERA is introduced and possible explanations within the framework of R-parity violating supersymmetry are discussed.
We investigate supersymmetric models in which an anomalous $U(1)_{X}$ symmetry explains the Yukawa hierarchy, and the related $D_{X}$-term plays a role in supersymmetry breaking. We use a bottom-up approach to model building.…
We demonstrate that in the presence of mixing between different scalar leptoquark multiplets it is possible to simultaneously account for the HERA high-$Q^2$ neutral current anomaly, and produce a charged current anomaly of comparable…
We study the phenomenology of a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with an $R$-symmetry under which $R$-charges correspond to the baryon number. This identification allows for the presence in the superpotential of the $R$-parity…
The charm squark resonance in the $e^+ q$ channel provides one of the plausible interpretations of the reported anomaly at HERA. We show that the relevant $R$ violating coupling $\lambda'_{121}$ is required to be large, typically around 0.1…
Unification of matter fields implies the existence of accidental permutation symmetries, which potentially remain immune to large quantum corrections up to the TeV scale. We investigate the case of a supersymmetric $SU(5)$ grand unified…
We discuss the recently observed excess of high Q2 neutral current deep inelastic scattering events at HERA in the light of supersymmetry with broken R-parity. We find more than one possible solution. We consider the possibilities for…
