Search for Second Generation Scalar Leptoquarks with the CMS Detector

We report on the search and discovery potential of the CMS experiment for the pair production of second generation scalar leptoquarks that decay into a muon and a quark. The results presented here assume an integrated luminosity of 100 \pbinv and $pp$ collisions at a center of mass energy of 10 TeV. We describe the triggering and reconstruction of the final state high transverse momentum muons and jets and the choice of the optimized selection criteria. We determine the main Standard Model backgrounds from control data samples and estimate the significance of the measurement for different leptoquark mass hypotheses.
