What Can We Learn About Leptoquarks At LEP200?

Abstract

We investigate the discovery potential for first generation leptoquarks at the LEP200 $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider. We consider direct leptoquark searches using single leptoquark production via resolved photon contributions which offers a much higher kinematic limit than the more commonly considered leptoquark pair production process. Depending on the coupling strength of the leptoquark, search limits can be obtained to within a few GeV of $\sqrt{s}$. We also consider LQ limits that can be obtained from t-channel interferences effects in $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to hadrons$.
