Study of leptoquark pair production at the LHC with the CMS detector

Abstract

We study the discovery potential of the CMS detector for the scalar leptoquark pair production at the LHC. Present and future exclusion limits are considered. We find that the maximal leptoquark mass reach is about 1.47 TeV for the branching ratio of Br(LQ_l -> l q)=100 %, while for Br(LQ_l -> l q)=50 % the upper limit is 1.2 TeV for an integrated luminosity of 100 fb-1. We obtain comparable results for electron and muon-type leptoquarks. The pileup effect at high luminosity is discussed.
