We discuss the general framework for the construction of new models containing a single, fermion number zero scalar leptoquark of mass $\simeq 200-220$ GeV which can both satisfy the D0/CDF search constraints as well as low energy data, and…

A search for the lepton flavour violating processes ep->mu X and ep -> tau X is performed with the H1 experiment at HERA. Final states with a muon or tau and a hadronic jet are searched for in a data sample corresponding to an integrated…
We analyze the effects of Scalar and Vector Leptoquarks on various observables in electron (positron) - proton deep inelastic scattering. In view of the future program of the HERA collider, with a high luminosity and also with polarization,…
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…

The sensitivity of THERA to different models of "new physics" has been studied, both for the contact interaction approximation and for the resonance production. For contact interaction models conserving parity, scales up to about 18 TeV can…
In light of new data we present an updated phenomenological analysis of the simplified $U_1$-leptoquark model addressing charged-current $B$-meson anomalies. The analysis shows a good compatibility of low-energy data (dominated by the…
The effects of Scalar Leptoquarks in various channels have been analysed for the HERA collider and also for an eventual new $ep$ machine running at higher energies. We emphasize the relevance of polarized beams.
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…
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 investigate to which extent an interpretation of the recently observed excess of events in the high $Q^2$ range at HERA in terms of single leptoquark production is compatible with bounds from other experiments.
In the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with an R-parity breaking coupling of the scalar top quark (stop) we investigate production processes and decay properties of the stop at HERA energies. The model is…
Virtual leptoquarks could be detected at HERA through some nonstandard effects. Here we explore the possibility that virtual leptoquarks could be discovered via $e u --> e c$ scattering, assuming integrated luminosity of 200 pb$^{-1}$ and…
We present in this paper the current status of searches for leptoquarks at D0. These results include the use of next leading order theoretical predictions for the cross section for pair production of leptoquarks at hadron colliders. We also…
In the context of HERA with polarized lepton and proton beams, we explore the sensitivity of the collider to contact interactions. We emphasize that the measurement of longitudinal spin asymmetries in such a polarized context could give…
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 $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$…
The present status of the heavy-quark production theory is critically reviewed in the first contribution. The second contribution summarises the present heavy flavour data from HERA and gives an outlook of what can be expected from HERA-II.…
