The most efficient way to extend the Standard Model of particle theory so that it accommodates the observed B anomalies is the hypothesis of a leptoquark which is a color-triplet weak-singlet boson with electric charge $Q=+\frac{2}{3}$. We…
States beyond those expected in the simple constituent quark model are now emerging. I focus on the scalar glueball and its mixing with states in the $q\bar{q}$ nonet, and also on correlations in Strong QCD that may form diquarks and seed…
The structure of the photon is studied in high energy photon-proton interactions at HERA and photon-photon interactions at LEP. The status of these measurements is reviewed.
Leptoquarks (LQs) have attracted increasing attention within recent years, mainly since they can explain the flavor anomalies found in $R(D^{(*)})$, $b \rightarrow s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.…
Neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering measurements by the COHERENT collaboration provide us with a unique capability to test various beyond the standard model scenarios. In this work, we constrain scalar leptoquarks (LQs) using the COHERENT…
The sensitivity of LeHC to different models of "new physics" has been studied, both for the resonance production and in the contact interaction approximation. Expected limits are compared for different running scenarios. Direct leptoquark…
The contributions into radiative correction parameters S, T, U from the scalar leptoquarks are calculated in the minimal gauge model with the four-color quark-lepton symmetry. It is shown that the contributions into T and U from the scalar…
In this talk, multiquarks are studied microscopically in a standard quark model. In pure ground-state pentaquarks the short-range interaction is computed and it is shown to be repulsive. An additional quark-antiquark pair is then…
We review the present seach for scalar leptoquarks and the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unravel the existence of first generation leptoquarks. Talk given by O. J. P. Eboli at the International Workshop on "Physics…
We address the $B$-physics anomalies within a two scalar leptoquark model. The low-energy flavor structure of our set-up originates from two $SU(5)$ operators that relate Yukawa couplings of the two leptoquarks. The proposed scenario has a…
Hadronic antenna patterns can provide a valuable diagnostic tool for probing the origin of the apparent excess of high $x,Q^2$ events at HERA. We present quantitative predictions for the distributions of soft particles and jets in standard…
Doncheski and Hewett have recently shown that the ratio of neutral current to charged current cross sections, $R={\sigma_{NC}}/{\sigma_{CC}}$, can provide a more sensitive probe for the existence of heavy leptoquarks at HERA than the usual…
We explore the possible interpretation of the large-$Q^2$ anomaly reported by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations in terms of stop squark production off a strange quark in the proton via an R-violating interaction. This "strange stop"…
We compute the predictions of intrinsic charm for deep-inelastic scattering at high-Q^2 and compare to HERA data. With the inclusion of constraints from low-energy data, enhancements beyond the predictions of standard structure functions…
Has any progress been made on understanding and predicting the 13 parameters which describe the observed masses and mixing angles of the quarks and leptons? Arguments are given in favor of pursuing schemes in which grand unified and family…
We discuss the physics potential of the $\mu p$ collider; especially, leptoquarks, leptogluons, R-parity violating squarks, contact interactions, and large extra dimensions. We calculate the sensitivity reach for these new physics at $\mu…
Main parameters of future lepton-hadron colliders are estimated. Namely, THERA and Linac*LHC based ep, gamma-p, eA and FEL gamma-A colliders are considered. The physics search potential of these machines are considered.
Motivated by the recent experimental data at HERA and ZEUS, which have reported evidence for leptoqark production at Sqrt{s}=314 GeV with a mass at M_D=200 GeV we consider its implications in unified supersymmetric theories. We also present…
Measurements of diffractive phenomena observed at HERA are reviewed. A short introduction to the theoretical background is presented. The review focuses on the current experimental directions and discusses the exclusive production of vector…
We analyse numerically manifestations of the radiative amplitude zero (RAZ) effect in single leptoquark production associated with hard photon emission. We present some quantitative conclusions on the possibility to distinguish leptoquark…
