I present a concise review of the possible evidence for new physics at HERA and of the recent work towards a theoretical interpretation of the signal. It is not clear yet if the excess observed at large Q^2 is a resonance or a continuum…
Light first generation leptoquarks are being hunted for in HERA and at FNAL and there are various proposals for further searches in future machines. Such leptoquarks are however problematic from a theoretical point of view: Low energy…
In this talk I summarize the capability of future lepton colliders to discover leptoquarks and to determine their electroweak quantum numbers. This analysis is an updated discussion based on the results presented in the Snowmass 1996 New…
Recent results of searches for new physics at HERA using the complete data sample corresponding to about 0.5/fb per experiment are reviewed. Searches for leptoquarks, isolated leptons (electrons, muons and taus) and a generic search for new…
Data from HERA, LEP and the Tevatron, as well as from low energy experiments are used to constrain the scale of possible electron-quark contact interactions. Some models are found to describe the existing experimental data much better than…
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…
Recent results on searches for physics beyond the Standard Model obtained by the H1 and ZEUS experiments are reported here. After a brief introduction to the HERA collider, indirect searches for contact interactions and extra-dimensions are…
The HERA ep collider and the experiments H1 and ZEUS operated from 1994-2007. A total integrated luminosity of almost 1 fb^-1 was collected at centre-of-mass energies up to 320 GeV. Results from searches for leptoquarks and squarks, final…
Possible interpretations of the HERA large-Q^2 data are reviewed briefly. The possibility of statistical fluctuations cannot be ruled out, and it seems premature to argue that the H1 and ZEUS anomalies are incompatible. The data cannot be…
Leptoquark searches are considered for future experiments at HERA, Tevatron, LHC, TESLA and THERA. Expected exclusion limits from direct leptoquark searches (leptoquark pair production and single leptoquark production) are compared with…
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…
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…
The excess of high-Q2 events recently observed in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA has refuelled speculations on physics beyond the standard model, in particular on low-mass leptoquark-type particles. We review the…
Explicit expressions are derived for the oblique parameters $S$ and $T$ in certain extensions of the standard model. In particular, we consider leptoquarks and bileptons, and find phenomenological constraints on their allowed masses.…
The four fermion contact interactions, required to explain the anomalous HERA result, could come from the exchange of new heavy (probably composite) resonances. Depending on their charges and quantum numbers, one gets different scenarios…
A search for scalar and vector leptoquarks coupling to first generation fermions is performed using the e^+p and e^-p scattering data collected by the H1 experiment between 1994 and 2000. The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity…
A search for first generation scalar and vector leptoquarks produced in ep collisions is performed by the H1 experiment at HERA. The full H1 data sample is used in the analysis, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 446 pb^-1. No…
A search for second and third generation scalar and vector leptoquarks produced in ep collisions via the lepton flavour violating processes ep -> mu X and ep -> tau X is performed by the H1 experiment at HERA. The full data sample taken at…
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…
High-precision HERA data corresponding to a luminosity of around 1 fb$^{-1}$ have been used in the framework of $eeqq$ contact interactions (CI) to set limits on possible high-energy contributions beyond the Standard Model to electron-quark…
