When a TeV-scale leptoquark has a sizeable Yukawa coupling, its dominant production mechanism at hadron colliders is the partonic-level lepton-quark fusion. Even though the parton distribution functions for leptons inside the proton are…
Minimal models exist in which thermal, resonant leptogenesis occurs at the electroweak scale. The effects of individual lepton flavours play a crucial role and allow successful leptogenesis with large couplings between some of the charged…
Using the ZEUS detector at the HERA electron-proton collider, we have searched for lepton flavor violation in ep collisions at a center-of-mass energy s^1/2 of 300 GeV. Events of the type e + p -> lepton + X with a final-state lepton (mu or…
We perform a detailed analysis of the potentiality of the CERN Large Hadron Collider to study the single production of leptoquarks via $pp \to e^\pm q\to$ leptoquark $\to e^\pm q$, with $e^\pm$ generated by the splitting of photons radiated…
If pairs of new colored particles are produced at the Large Hadron Collider, determining their quantum numbers, and even discovering them, can be non-trivial. We suggest that valuable information can be obtained by measuring the resonant…
If electroweak symmetry breaking arises via strongly-coupled physics, the observed suppression of flavour-changing processes suggests that fermion masses should arise via mixing of elementary fermions with composite fermions of the strong…
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 theories where lepton flavor is violated, in particular concentrating on the four fermion operator consisting of three electrons and a tau. Strong constraints are available from existing searches for tau -> eee, requiring the…
We investigate the discovery prospects of a leptophilic gauge boson Z_l at future $e^+e^-$ colliders, focusing on a comparative study of the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC). This state…
Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent $(qq)_6$ and $(\bar qq)_8$ pairs…
We analyze the potential sensitivity of a search for $e\rightarrow\tau$ conversion at a proposed electron-ion collider (EIC) facility. To that end, we calculate the cross sections for $e\rightarrow\tau$ events in a leptoquark framework…
We study the signals for composite vector leptoquarks in $e^+ e^-$ colliders (LEP II, NLC, and CLIC) through their effects on the production of jet pairs, as well as their single and pair productions. We also analyze their production in…
The cross sections for the formation of scalar resonances, leptoquarks or squarks, in electron/positron-proton collisions at HERA are presented including next-to-leading order QCD corrections. Depending mildly on the mass of the resonances,…
We study the single production of first generation leptoquarks in association with a e+/- at the Fermilab Tevatron. We focus our attention on final states exhibiting a e+e- pair and jets, and perform a detailed analyses of signal and…
Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we show that exotic resonances, X and Z, may emerge as QCD molecular objects made of colored two-quark lumps, states with heavy-light diquarks spatially separated from antidiquarks. With the same…
We explore the signatures of the $\tilde{R}_2$ class of leptoquark (LQ) models at the proposed $e^- p$ and $e^+p$ colliders. We carry out an analysis for the proposed colliders LHeC and FCC-eh with center of mass (c.m.) energy 1.3 TeV and…
After a review over past experiments and theoretical requirements from low-energy flavour physics, we argue that the possibility of low-mass leptoquarks (LQ) cannot be fully excluded due to the assumptions made in the measurements.…
We calculate the cross section for the production of pairs of scalar leptoquarks (sleptoquarks) in a supersymmetric $E_6$ model, at hadron colliders. We estimate higher order corrections by including $\pi^2$ terms induced by soft-gluon…
Leptoquarks are one of the possible candidates for explaining various anomalies in flavour physics. Nonetheless, their existence is yet to be confirmed from experimental side. In this paper we have shown how zeros of single photon…
We demonstrate that in a recently proposed unified leptoquark model based on the gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_R$ significant deviations from the Standard Model values of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ can be accommodated without any…
