Search for scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with ATLAS detector

The poster is dedicated to a search for pair-produced scalar leptoquarks using 20.3 fb-1 of data recorded by the ATLAS detector at √s=8 TeV. Leptoquarks are hypothetical particles with non-zero lepton and baryon numbers, predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model, and can provide an explanation for the similarity between the quark and lepton sectors. Searches for pair-produced scalar leptoquarks have been performed with final states including leptons. Thereby the new limits on the leptoquarks mass were set at 95% Confidence Level.
