e^+ (Anti)Quark Scattering in the Presence of the Anomalous HERA Positron-Jet Event Phenomenon

We discuss the leptoquark interpretation of the anomalous HERA positron-jet events in the context of the YFS exponentiated Monte Carlo event generator treatment of the attendant multiple photon radiative effects for both the would-be signal and the SM background, wherein finite-$p_T$ photon effects...

Sumario:We discuss the leptoquark interpretation of the anomalous HERA positron-jet events in the context of the YFS exponentiated Monte Carlo event generator treatment of the attendant multiple photon radiative effects for both the would-be signal and the SM background, wherein finite-$p_T$ photon effects are properly taken into account and wherein infrared singularities are cancelled to all orders in $\alpha$. We show that H1 and ZEUS data are consistent with such an interpretation for a leptoquark coupling $\lesssim 0.3g_W$, mass $\sim 200$ GeV, and width $\lesssim 2$GeV. Possible future tests are proposed.
