Leptoquark Signals via $\nu$ interactions at Neutrino Factories

Abstract

The accurate prediction of neutrino beam produced in muon decays and the absence of opposite helicity contamination for a particular neutrino flavour makes a future neutrino factory (NF) based on a muon storage ring (MSR), the ideal place to look for the lepton flavour violating (LFV) effects. In this paper, we address the contribution of mediating LFV leptoquarks (LQ) in $\nu (\bar{\nu })-N$ interactions leading to production of $\tau$'s and wrong sign $\mu$'s at MSR and investigate the region where LQ interactions are significant in the near-site and short baseline experiments.
