Search for Pair Production of Leptoquarks in the CMS Experiment

Leptoquarks are hypothetical particles carrying both lepton and quark flavor. They are predicted by Grand Unified Theories, technicolor and composite models, among others. First results from the searches for pair production of first- and second-generation scalar leptoquarks at the CMS experiment usi...

Sumario:Leptoquarks are hypothetical particles carrying both lepton and quark flavor. They are predicted by Grand Unified Theories, technicolor and composite models, among others. First results from the searches for pair production of first- and second-generation scalar leptoquarks at the CMS experiment using the entire 2010 proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s)=7 TeV are presented.
