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…
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…
Attempts to understand the recent observation of an excess of events in the neutral and charged current channels at high$-Q^2$ at HERA has provided an excellent example of how experiments at both low and high energies can be used to…
A light stop, with an R-parity-violating coupling $\lambda'_{131}$, has been suggested as an explanation of the excess in high-$Q^2$ neutral current events observed at the HERA collider. We show that in this scheme a corresponding excess in…
Recent results from searches for new physics at HERA are reviewed. Exploiting the uniqueness of lepton-hadron collisions at high energy, searches are performed for electron-quark resonant states (leptoquarks or squarks in R-parity-violating…
An interpretation that the HERA excess events are due to intermediate production and decay of composite leptoquarks in the left-right symmetric preon model is given. Because of the preon-line rule, expected to be valid well, the event-ratio…
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 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…
We explore interpretations of the anomaly observed by H1 and ZEUS at HERA in deep-inelastic e^+ p scattering at very large Q^2. We discuss the possibilities of new effective interactions and the production of a narrow state of mass 200 GeV…
HERA is the only high energy electron-proton collider in the world today and hence has unique opportunities both to probe the structure of the proton and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Results are presented for…
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.
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 excess of high Q^2 events at HERA has been the subject of recent extensive studies in the framework of several models related to new physics. Here, we would like to concentrate on the most promising, from our point of view, model…
Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model have been performed in high-energy $e^{\pm}p$ collisions at HERA. No significant deviation from the Standard Model has been observed while searching for contact interactions, extra dimensions,…
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…
Measurements of ep scattering with squared 4-momentum transfer Q^2 up to 35000 GeV^2 are compared with the expectation of the standard deep-inelastic model of lepton-nucleon scattering (DIS). For Q^2 > 15000 GeV^2, N_{obs} =12 neutral…
In reference to the recently observed high Q^2, large x events in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA, various leptoquark and supersymmetric scenarios are discussed. We study the impact of virtual leptoquark or R-parity…
The early observation at HERA of an excess of events compared to the expectation from the Standard Model in very short distance $e^+p$ deep-inelastic scattering processes has renewed the interest in the search for new physics which could…
The recently reported excess of events at HERA compared to QCD calculations impels us to examine all possible Standard Model explanations before invoking ``new physics''. We explore the possibility of adding an unusual, but small, component…
