Heavy quark production via leptoquarks at a neutrino factory

Abstract

The proposed neutrino factory (NF) based on a muon storage ring (MSR) is an ideal place to look for heavy quark production via neutral current (NC) and charged current (CC) interactions. In this article, we address the issue of contribution coming from mediating leptoquarks (LQ) in ${\nu }_{\mu }({\bar{\nu }}_e)-\mathrm{N}$ interactions leading to the production of $b(\bar{b})$ at a MSR and investigate the region where LQ interactions are significant in the near-site experiments.
